370377 - Flash rendering in <div> layers (z-index)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 137189

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jos Buis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-us;rv;1.8.11) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0.0.1 Ubuntu-Edgy

Using many <divs> with different z-indexes for layering. A flash component situated in z_index 2 will be placed om top of z-index 4 <divs>. This wrong!
Layering is't possible using flash this way. Immediatly after replacingthe flash movie with a normal <img> everything renders all right.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build some <divs> with different z-indexes but same place and size. 2 3 and 4
2.In div z-index 2 place a flash movie
3.in index 3 a tranpasrant picture
4.in index 4 some text
5. this show all components visible on top of each other


Expected Results:  
Same result with same browser on a different platform. Firefox on Windows XP or Max OS X 10.4 is working correctly.

The flash movie should be rendered the same way as fireox will do on a Windows XP, or Mac OS X system.

Perhaps, the next redering engine of firefox can be a mixture of opera 9's rendering engine and the game engine of a quake like game. Ony this way extreme usage of movies and fast changing pictures/objects can be done. I have here a webpage which is not visible on any bowser on any system due to technical flaws in browsers, or theay are simpley not that enhanced.

In General, nothing better so far then Firefox, conserning fast browsing en building and debugging sites. Please keep up the good Work. Thanx!!!!!
