143011 - DHTML over flash not working

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 117370

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Markus Hübner]

At
http://www.orange.co.uk/index.html
if you move over the top navigation menu-items a DHTML menu
should appear that is displayed over the flash-movie.
This works fine in MSIE, but fails in the latest trunk build.

Without the flash movie below the navigation everything is fine - for example 
at http://www.orange.co.uk/kit/

It's probably that talking to JavaScripts from a Flash movie doesn't work on 
isn't yet not implemented.


testing with trunk build 2002050608 on win-xp.

This works also great in Netscape 4.78 (the one I tested).

Having divs over Flash movies does not work in IE either. 

The solution that they have here is that when they show a menu they hide the
flash and show an image instead. This does not happen in Mozilla cause of their
code i guess.

So this should ve INVALID or dupe of bug 93959?

I think it's because Mozilla doesn't support JavaScript from inside a Flash-
movoe isn't currently supported in Mozilla.

Then this is a dupe of bug 110441.
And the reason for that is in
