296473 - ibest.com.br - Flash advertisement don't close when you click

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: Portuguese, defect)

Description

[Firefox user]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; pt-BR; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

These problem is far common for bad Flash movies advertisements.
They do it to bypass the pop up blocker, but is annoying when you can
not close it. On IE it obeys, but for Firefox the approach that 
works and I recommend to Flash advertisement creators is to set the _visible
property of the Flash movie to false in the on(release)
event of the Close X button, inside the Flash movie.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter the site
2.When appear a Flash advertisement, try to close it
3.

Actual Results:  
the flash movie don't desapear

Expected Results:  
hide (close) the flash movie immediately

Flash designers:
to make the movie close properly, use
on(release){ _visible = false;}
for the close button action handler

I don't see any Flash popups on that site in either Camino trunk or Firefox 2, so marking WORKSFORME.
