Flash Compatibility

If your web page runs Flash animations, you will need to make the small change explained here to prevent the Flash animation from interfering with the iCents Payment Window.

Problem

You will often experience the following problems:

• In Firefox: the Flash animation may disappear when the Payment Window is opened (it reappears when the window is closed again).
• In Internet Explorer: the Flash animation may appear above the Payment Window, covering the window.
• In both browsers, the paid-link price may be hidden underneath the Flash animation.

For example, the following YouTube video was included on this page and will probably present the problems mentioned above. To test it, click here to open the Payment Window and then move it until it overlaps the video.

View the code that includes the above video:

<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/so8axV56ujY&hl=en"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/so8axV56ujY&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed>
</object>

Please note that this is not a problem of the iCents application, but rather of the Flash application itself, as explained by Adobe.

Solution

To solve this problem, you must change the way that the Flash animation appears on the web page:

First, insert the param tag inside the object tag, as shown below:

<object ...>
...
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
...
</object>

 

Then, enter the wmode="transparent" attribute in the embed tag, as shown below:

<embed ... wmode="transparent" </object>

 

Attention: Instead of "transparent", as shown above, you can also use "opaque". Both work.

The following video includes the changes shown above, which resolved the problem. To test it, click here to open the Payment Window and move it until it overlaps the video.

<object width="425" height="344">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/so8axV56ujY&hl=en"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param>
<embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/so8axV56ujY&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed>
</object>
