Description

[Christoph Petersen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.126 Safari/533.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8

Were developing an application which makes heavy use of different Flash applications mashed together with HTML. We have to use wmode=transparent as we need to display other components ontop of our Flash based components.

When the Flash applications are contained within an iFrame the Flash application does not receive the input from the browser anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change keyboard mapping to de_DE
2. Open http://www.xgrr.de/ff-flash-problem/
3. Try to enter @ or € by pressing AltGr (right alt+q or right alt+e) in Flash app on the right
Actual Results:  
Nothing will be entered into the text field.

Expected Results:  
@ and € should be entered in the text field.

Do you mean bug 347185 ?
note: Please always include the used flash version in a bug report.

Comment 2

[Christoph Petersen]

No that defect describes the problems without the additional <iframe> element around the Flash application. Without the iframe this problem is not reproducible in our environment.

I'm using Flash 10,1,82,76. And the problem occurs only on Windows (up to Windows 7).

Reporter -> Are you still experiencing this issue with the latest version of Firefox 5? Does the issue occur with the latest nightly? http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Comment 4

With the nightly build the problem is fixed. Is there any indication when this is pushed into the stable release?
