Multimedia Content Part: Flash Object set to wmode = opaque

Post by tamara »

Have you ever had a Flash element on a page and a DHTML menu? If so, you probably noticed that the DTML menu drops behind or is interfeared with by the Flash movie. The solution is to set the window mode (wmode) to opaque or transparent. If this parameter is left out of the Object and Embed tags, it will default to wmode = window. This is the least desireable setting and means that the Flash movie "owns" that rectangle in the browser window. Please see this article on CommunityMX: http://www.communitymx.com/content/arti ... &cid=E5141.

My suggestion is to add the wmode set to opaque to the multimedia content part code or add this as a selectable feature on the admin page.

In cnt9.article.inc.php please add the following to the section for case 3: //Flash Player/Plugin:

Code: Select all

$media["code"] .= "<PARAM name=\"WMODE\" VALUE=\"opaque\">\n";
and in the Embed section: wmode = "opaque"

Code: Select all

$media["code"] .= "quality=\"high\" scale=\"noborder\" wmode=\"opaque\"  pluginspace=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer/\"></EMBED>\n";
For a user needing transparent, it is an easy change.
