    Menu is hiding behind youtube-videos

    Posted 14 years 4 months ago
    • Hello,

      on my website I use the Kinetic Template. I really like it but it makes some problem when users add youtube videos. The menu contains several menu items which are listed.
      Please have a closer look at the attachments to understand the problem.

      Thanks in advance.

    • Hi,

      Thanks for the info. I have asked for some other mods to take a look at this. Thanks for your patience.

      EDIT: Just got word from another mod that tried to look at this and the URL is giving a 404 error (page not found) I double checked it to be sure and it is rendering 404 right now please reply when it is up again.

    • Hi Alex,
      The links that Christopher provided you have your answer. To override Flashes grabbing the focus on the stage you must force it so that it allows the background of the HTML page to show through all transparent portions of the movie. You do this by using the "wmode" parameter. In your case the code should look like this:
      <embed width="100%" height="100%" id="video-player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://my-site.com/my-flash.swf" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" bgcolor="#000000" wmode="transparent" flashvars="el=embedded&amp;fexp=12345&amp;allow_embed=1&amp;allow_ratings=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;eurl=http://some-site/my.jpg&amp;probably_logged_in=1&amp;title=My-Title&amp;avg_rating=0&amp;video_id=123456&amp;length_seconds=103&amp;enablejsapi=0&amp;sk=-qwerty&amp;use_native_controls=false&amp;rel=1&amp;jsapicallback=yt.embed.onPlayerReady&amp;autoplay=0&amp;autohide=0&amp;framer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rubiz.de%2Fen%2Fyulia-weingaertner%2Fvideos%2Fprofile-video-video-profilya%2my-profile">
      The addition to your original code is 'wmode="transparent"' which corrects the issue.

    • Hi,

      thanks for your reply but I don't understand where you placed the code? Should my users place the parameter "wmode" when they add a video?

      Thanks in advance,
      Alex

    • I am not particularly familiar with Jomsocial. Are there parameters that will all you to add the wmode value to the video player? What Dan did was add the code using firebug to test it remotely. This will only demonstrate how certain markup (or code) will react when entered.

      If you are not sure whether Jomsocial has parameters that you can add teh wmode="transparent" value, I would suggest asking the nice folks at JomSocial about how to add that value to their component's video plugin.

    • Hi,

      thanks for your reply. I will get in contact with JomSocial to solve the problem.

      I've just noticed that the picture DanG posted contains user sensitive data. Could you please make the data anonymous?

      Thank you very much.
