Flash: <param name="wmode" value="obaque">... obaque?

I've upgraded to FireFox 4 recently and suddenly one of my flash modules stopped working. This a copy/paste of the object structure from firebug (double dots are there for simplicity):

<object width="100%" height="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data=".."  name="..">
    <param name="flashvars" value="..">
    <param name="wmode" value="obaque">
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always">
</object>

Now... what's that obaque value on wmode param?.. It was meant to be "transparent" actually, at least that's what I had in my embed code.

Solution

  • Looks like it is the bug caused by FlashFireBug.

    in Apr 18, 2011 by Ashraf Amayreh Fixed the obaque problem, waiting or Mozilla's approval.

    in Apr 14, 2011 by Guest I discovered a problem with the param wmode=transparent for a flash object on Ubuntu 10.10, FF 3.6.16. Window mode is reset to "Obaque" (which should be "opaque" I think) with activated FlashFirebug. Thank you so much!
