Flash Control Drawing Over Vaadin Window Header in FF (works in IE)

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

Hello,

I’m developing an application using Vaadin 6.4.3. I built a custom Vaadin widget that displays Flash charts. When I use this widget within my application it operates correctly, however the Flash component is drawn over some Vaadin components.

I’ve attempted to add the “wmode=opaque” as I’ve read in another thread that this resolves the issue. This appears to work for IE8, but in FF3.6 (Firefox) it does not work (see the screenshot below).


 private void setFlash() {

        String html =
                "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"" + GWT.getModuleBaseURL() + "js/json/json2.js\"></script>"
                + "<object id=\"fxofc2"
                + uidlId
                + "\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"100%\""
                + " height=\"100%\" codebase=\"http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0\">"
                + "<param name=\"movie\" value=\""
                + GWT.getModuleBaseURL()
                + "open-flash-chart.swf\">"
                + "<param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\">"
                + "<param name=\"wmode\" value=\"opaque\">"
                + "<param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\" /> "
                + "<param name=\"flashVars\" value=\"pid="
                + uidlId
                + "\" />"
                + "<embed name=\"fxofc2"
                + uidlId
                + "\" flashVars=\"pid="
                + uidlId
                + "\" src=\""
                + GWT.getModuleBaseURL()
                + "open-flash-chart.swf\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" "
                + "quality=\"high\" "
                + "param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\" "
                + "pluginspage=\"http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\">"
                + "</embed>" + "</object>";
        flash.setHTML(html);
    }

Below is a screenshot:

Do any of you have any ideas on how I can resolve this issue?

Thank you,

Hmm, strange. Tested with Sampler (the Flash example), using FF3.6/OSX. I opened the “View Source” window, and it worked as it should (no overlapping).

Can you test this with Sampler, does it happen there too?

Jouni,

I attempted the same Sampler test on FF3.6/Windows 7 and I am able to reproduce the issue. Unfortunately, the application I am developing will only be used on Windows machines.

Please see the image below:

Thanks,
Ajay

Looks like a Vaadin bug (regression) to me.

Created a ticket for this

Hi,

I worked on the issue a bit. The wmode hack worked for me. There is also a trivial theme fix that worked on my test environment. Wouldn’t be surprised though it there still were issues in some environments. If you want to help, you could test tomorrows 6.5.0.nightly build and report if this is still an issue for you. More details in the ticket.

cheers,

Hi Matti,

I’ll assist to resolve this issue in anyway I can as the next release of the software product my company is building (which depends on the Vaadin framework) will go into Production a month from now.

At present I am using the 6.4.3 version of Vaadin. I recently upgraded to 6.4.8 without any issues.

I am now trying to upgrade to use the nightly build 6.5.0 (vaadin-6.5.0.nightly-20110107-c16808), but I get an error during widget compilation of a custom widget I’ve built for Flash charting. I also attempted to use the 6.5.0 pre 2 build with the same error as the nightly build. Below is the error that I am receiving:

I reviewed the release notes for 6.5.0 but could not find anything related to widgets that would affect me.

Please let me know how I should proceed so that I could move forward with the 6.5.0 builds and hopefully take advantage of any fixes that have been put in that could resolve my original z-order issue.

Thanks,
Ajay

Hi,

Check that you have your GWT version in par with Vaadin. With 6.5 you should use GWT 2.1. Our plugin should take care of this automatically, but if you are building with ant script you probably need to take care of this manually.

cheers,

Matti,

I upgraded to GWT2.1 and compiled successfully. I used the last nightly build and the z-order issue looks to be resolved however I thought it would be useful to show you how the final result looks:

For my purposes, the current state of things are sufficient. But you’ll notice that the shadowed borders are not rendered over the Flash control (and maybe this is not possible). I thought I’d let you know in case this is something that could be resolved.

Thanks,
Ajay

Matti,

Unfortunately after more testing (I am using 6.5.0), I’ve realized that now FF works fine but unfortunately IE8 and Chrome9 no longer work.

I just upgraded to the nightly build of vaadin-6.5.1.nightly-20110210-c17255.jar and it’s exhibiting the same issue.

This is IE8:

This is Chrome9:

Please help.

Thanks,
Ajay

Hi,

I’d bet you are not using Embedded but still attaching flash manually into a label in XHTML mode. At least I can’t reproduce the issue in sampler anymore.

I think we can’t add a hook to Vaadin label to magically add the infamous wmode hook into labels that contain a flash tags. So if you can’t use Embedded, add to your object tag and wmode=“transparent” parameter to embed tag. That should solve the issue. Google wmode+flash and you’ll find dozens of pages describing the issue.

cheers,
matti
