Flash object still visible underneath a ModalWindow
Hi,
I am experiencing a strange issue with a ModalWindow behavior (I'm using
wicket 1.3 beta3). The main page content contains a flash object (I'm using
a SWFObject to render it) and when a ModalWindow pops-up over this content,
the flash object is still visible below. in Firefox the flash content
becomes clickable once I drag the ModalWindow clear from the flash object
rendered below. In IE the flash object is visible and clickable the whole
time after the ModalWindow is displayed.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you,
florin

The issue is present in both IE and Firefox (flash visible at all times), the
difference is that on IE the flash object is clickable the whole time
whereas in Firefox becomes clickable only when I move the popup away from
the flash content.
I'll try the invisibility solution if nothing else is available...
Thanks,
florin

Re: Flash object still visible underneath a ModalWindow

Solved it.
It turns out that a flash object is always rendered on the topmost layer of
a page regardless of the z-index order.
To be able to place the flash object underneath a popup you need to add a
param to the SWFObject :
swfObj.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
I've added this in SWFObject.java class (I'm using the SWFObject.java
attached here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-309). Just add
response.write(swfVar + ".addParam('wmode', 'opaque');");
before line
response.write(swfVar + ".write('" + id + "');");
so the flash object will become blocked by the popup dialog as expected.
I got the idea from here (check the last section):

Yeah. :-(
It's a bug in Internet Explorer. You could probably work around it by
hiding the whole of the Flash object while the window is popped up. We
already have JS code that does this for drop-down <select> boxes (which
exhibit the same problem in IE). You might be able to crib the code from
that. Patches are welcome. ;)
