    Banner and Flash Issues

    Posted 16 years 3 months ago
    • PLease help!

      I inserted flash in the banner module with the wmode="transparent" to solve the problem of overlap with the pull-down panel in V3. However, now, the flash media doesn't play in FireFox but works fine in IE.

      When I take out the wmode="transparent" from the module content desc, FireFox works fine (no overlap and flash plays) but in IE7 flash works but overlaps with the pull-down panel.

      Please advise.

    • What is your entire flash code? It could be the way you've done it.

    • You may need to add the full path to the movie - might work.

      /joomla/media/hopflashbanner.swf

    • Thx a lot for tryiing to help with this. Here's my code:

      It works in IE7 but nothing is displayed in the banner in FF. Any assistance you can provide will help. In the time being, I found another module (mod_flashContent) that works in displaying the flash in both IE and FF but doesn't have a way to set the transparency mode to correct for the overlap issue in IE7.

      I hope this community can help me in finding a way to make this work in both IE and FF. Thx a million.

    • Thanks my friend! That solved it. The different filenames occured when I was trying different versions of the movie and forgot to make all the changes.

      I guess this proves once again that FF is smarter than IE or vice versa depending on preferred browser.

      I appreciate your patience to catch this problem; I didn't even after working with the file for weeks now.
