Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[qwertyiscool]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/418.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/1.5.0.4

In the PC version of firefox, internet explorer, opera, and in the mac version of opera, safari, and camino, when setting the background of an swf file to transparent in the html code, it works, but in the mac version of firefox, it shows the background of the original swf, not transparent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a flash file, with any color background
2. embed it into html, but make it a transparent background
3. look at the html in a mac version of firefox, it has your original background color, not transparent
(i am not sure if just this works when i tried it, the flash was in a table, and the table had a texture as a background, but all i saw was white in firefox, where i saw the texture in every other browser i tried)

Actual Results:  
texture in table background does not appear through the flash.  The swf was not transparent

Expected Results:  
the swf to be transparent.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2 and the latest Flash? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

-> Closing as incomplete because of missing feedback if this is still reproducible in the latest release (Firefox 2.0.0.4) or Trunk Build.

Reporter: if you still see this Problem in a recent build/release, feel free to reopen this bug. It would be also great if you could attach a testcase then.
