@Tim – I would need to know your situation to know exactly how to advise you but… I think I know what these issues are and they related to when an element is hidden by visibility instead of display none. The former does not really hide the element.

Another issue that can occur is when you are dragging an element and the mouse enters an iframe content the dragging stops. This may be by design but the solution is to put a div over the iframe when you drag and then hide that div when you stop dragging. If this issue is related to the HTML Component I’ll work up a solution.

I have found that when using wmode transparent in IE7 there are mouse tracking issues that result in problems with dragging objects. If someone has a work around for this I would love to see it. It works fine in Firefox.

Hi Ben,
1. I didnt know you could not vote if the issue is solved. I would resubmit the bug in the system again and at the same time ask for a status report and remark how important this issue is.

2. URL is updated. Please try again.

3. The component comes with example code to properly hide the iframe or div in these situations. As a shortcut use the “htmlVisibility” property. Also find example code here, http://drumbeatinsight.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=609.

4. In the bug I mentioned it only exists in IE not Firefox. We might be talking about two separate issues.

Thank you for your reply.

1. I have visited tasks on Bug Management System; I could not vote them because they are all solved. And for some of them, they did not list the solutions :-(

2. The url is broken, could you help to check it again?

3. I completely agree with your idea about swf and iFrame are separate entities. That’s also what we thought at beginning to hide iFrames when display flex components, such as flex popup windows is always behind youTube swf player in iFrame.

4. The code in comment can solve the issue in IE, but we have problem in Firefox.

I can see some tasks are in resolved status, but we could not see the final solution from the comments. Do you have solutions for all issues you posted on Bug Management System? If you do, could you show me more details your solutions please?

Thanks.

@Ben - Comments inline, 1. Please vote for this issue and get every flex developer you know to vote for this issue, https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12421 and if its not open resubmit it. 2. I think this has been fixed but please vote anyway. See comments on this post, https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12415. 3. This is not a bug. The swf and the iframe are separate entities in the browser. One will always be on top of the other. So you must handle it different ways. There is a work around, see this post, http://drumbeatinsight.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=662. 4. A workaround is described here, https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-12377 and support will be built in the next version of the component. If it is not the same issue please submit a bug and also provide steps to reproduce here.

We have same issues on the list you did.

On our Flex application, we need iFrame components for playing youTube videos, displaying some html text and integrating some Google Adsense. Be able to display iFrame in front of application, we need to set up “wmode” parameter, “opaque” as value in html source code, but too many troubles come out if we set “wmode” parameter for our application.

1. The transition performance issue: the transitions becomes very slow
2. The mouse scrolling function is freezen on Firefox: by scrooling middle wheel on mouse, the page doesn’t move up or down
3. When flex popup window displays out, everything (video, html text) in iFrame is still displayed in front of flex popup. This causes some action buttons on flex popup window cannot be clicked.
4. When we play youTube video in iFrame, the cursor can focus on input box, but we can type text inside of input box in Firefox

All problems is coming from the “wmode” we setting up in html source code. Could someone got same kind problems, and give some good suggestions for us, that will be appreciated.
