85140 - Loading flash into a hidden layer.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

Mozilla don't load flash movie into a hidden layer and don't hide it when layer
visibility is changed from visible to hidden. But Netscape 6.01 have a part of
this bug.

Mozilla doesn't do NS4 style layers.

NS4-style layers are not being used so they're not the issue.

I can confirm the described behavior on Win2K build 2001060703 (0.9.1).  It
looks like we are unable to change the visibility of <object>/<embed> elements
via DOM. I believe the top .swf is actually being loaded, but its visibility is
not being changed when its parent <div>'s visibility is changed, so we don't see
it.  That would make sense if the author had explicitly set the visibility of
the <object>/<embed> element (visibility of child overrides visibility of
parent) but that's not the case here.

 Maybe somewhere we are explicitly setting the visibility of plugin elements to
the visibility of their parents (on initial load), and then that's not being
updated when their parents' visibility is changed?

SPAM. HTML Element component deprecated, changing component to Layout. See bug
