Flash Related Issues
Hi Guys,

I have a problem with the new kentico flash. I have a design where the menu (by default) is supposed to come on top of the flash. It shows properly on IE but on Mozilla 3x the menu stays behind the flash.

I tried adding the code below manually from the source:

<object height="251" width="560" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0">

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="movie" value="/KenticoCMS50/Flash/New-Arik-Route-Map.aspx" /><embed height="251" width="560" src="/KenticoCMS50/Flash/New-Arik-Route-Map.aspx" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
</object>

IT WORKED! SO WHATS THE PROBLEM???

The problem is everytime I add this code and I save, my source code changes to this:

{^Media|(type)swf|(url)~/Flash/New-Arik-Route-Map.aspx?ext=.swf|(width)560|(height)251^}

The problem here is that this format doesn't have a transparent mode for Moziila.

on IE to avoid this issue it uses the code below to resolve the menu going behind a flash
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

I've gone through the media files in and IT HAS THIS SCRIPT AND THAT IS WHY IT ALWAYS WORKS ON IE!

but on Mozilla that code doesnt work and you have to put it in the <EMBED> tag like this:

<embed height="251" width="560" src="/KenticoCMS50/Flash/stop-home-box-
new.aspx" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
</object>

So how do I solve this issue on Mozilla?!

Thanks

RE:Flash Related Issues
Hello,

There has been a bug which could cause such a behavior in Kentico. Could you please try to upgrade to 5.5R2 if you haven't already and apply the latest hotfix (this issue sould be fixed in 5.5R2 hotfix number 4)?

Best regards,
Boris Pocatko
