290224 - When I have a page with a flash animation and use the WMODE="transparent" param, in Firefox 1.0.2 it doesn't work, it just ignore the param. It worked perfectly in Firefox 1.0

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050318 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050318 Firefox/1.0.2

In the page http://www.oi.com.br the top menu is a flash animation. They used
WMODE="transparent" to make it possible to see behind the flash. In Firefox 1.0
and all other browsers (IE, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla) it works perfectly, but in
Firefox 1.0.2 you can see a white box where should be the content behind the
flash menu.

Reproducible: Always

I see the dropdown menus on http://www.oi.com.br/data/Pages/30E5C7B0PTBRIE.htm
fine, but they aren't transparent.

Attachment: Here is a site where the bug happens. The circle in the center is a floating flash animation. The background should be transparent, but it isn´t.

Attachment: Here is the same page viewed in IE, notice that the background of the flash animation is correctly transparent.

I added two attatchments of screenshots taken from http://www.blucarros.com.br/.
One is from IE and the other from Firefox 1.0.2. I noticed that the bug happens
only in some computers. The computer where the bug showed up is an Athlon XP
2100+ with 512MB RAM running Windows XP SP2. I also tested on a Pentium 4 2GHZ
with 512MB RAM running Conectiva Linux 10 (Kernel 2.6.11) and KDE 3.3. Both
computers where running Firefox 1.0.2.

I am seeing the same behaviour in "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+" DeerPark alpha 2 on Suse 9.0

Has this bug been fixed somewhere, and has it now been reintroduced in the new
deerpark releases?

The page has completely changed. I can't see the "Quer conceher sua nova Nota" 
  See if you can still reproduce. If you can, please back up the page and .swf

Notice the bug still happens in firefox 1.0.6 under linux, because Macromedia
hasn't yet released version 8.0 from flash player for linux.

Attachment: Here is firefox 1.0.6 under Windows using flash player 8. Notice the bug doesn't happen anymore.

Comment 11

I tested now in Forefox 1.0.6. It seems the problem is the flash player, because
in Windows using new flash player 8 the bug doesn't happen anymore. Anyway, the
link to see the bug in Firefox under Linux is here:

This bug is INVALID per comments 10 and 11 (i.e., a Flash problem that's since been fixed on Windows/Mac but not Linux).
