What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. embed a flash movie into a page
2. call the page through ajax in the modal box
3. flash content doesn't appear at all!! 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

In which browser?
I experienced a small delay in Firefox to show the flash movie, but it's working
after a small time.
Could you send a link or your code here to be tested please?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I was able to fix the issue which was due to the way flash
movie was embedded. I initially used Dreamweaver to insert a flash movie which also
inserted a js file (AC_RunActiveContent.js) by default which was causing the issue. I
checked on adobe’s site
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_4150 and embedded flash
differently which worked.

However, there’s another issue that I’m noticing now which is only appearing in
Firefox 3. When I close the modal window, the flash movie stays / fully visible
within the window even during the closing animation. This is similar to the ghosting
effect that I noticed first on nyromodal’s website when you close the ‘Automatic
Iframe via target=_blank’ model you see the page content behind the window moving
(image attached)! Anyway, I’ve attached sample files (zip). It works fine on IE but
not on FF - any ideas?

I'm on windows vista.

Thanks in advance.

just add the wmode=transparent

so your code should be:
    <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
WIDTH="790" HEIGHT="530" id="myMovieName">
      <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="main.swf">
      <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
		<param value="transparent" name="wmode"/>
      <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF>
      <EMBED src="main.swf" wmode="transparent" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF
WIDTH="790" HEIGHT="530"
NAME="myMovieName" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED>
    </OBJECT>
