User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4 Layering an absolutely positioned block element with CSS opacity of less than 1 over a Flash object causes the the Flash object to become invisible. The Flash object must have its wmode set to transparent. Removing the opacity results in correct rendering. Removing the wmode=transparent results in a visible Flash object, but the block element is shown behind it, even if the z-index of the element is higher than the Flash object. Opacity On: <a href="http://tisch.nyu.edu/page/opacityon">http://tisch.nyu.edu/page/opacityon</a> Opacity Off: <a href="http://tisch.nyu.edu/page/opacityoff">http://tisch.nyu.edu/page/opacityoff</a> This was first noticed on the following page, where the "About Tisch" dropdown menu slightly overlaps the Flash movie: <a href="http://www.tisch.nyu.edu/">http://www.tisch.nyu.edu/</a> This bug does NOT apply to Firefox 1.0.x on Mac or Windows. This only applies to Firefox 1.5 on Mac OS 10.4.2. I haven't tested on Windows or other systems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Embed a Flash object with wmode=transparent in page 2. Absolutely position a block element over the Flash object 3. Set CSS opacity on block element to less than 1 Actual Results: The block element is shown correctly, but the Flash object is invisible. The Flash object still has clickable links and the sound works. Expected Results: The block element should be layered (with opacity) over the visible Flash object.
