Last week we accidentally introduced a nasty bug into the Floorplanner Flash app. Well, actually it wasn’t the Flash app that caused the problem. It appeared to be a weird issue in swfobject.
We wanted to layer some html content over the Flash app, so we added this line to the JavaScript:
swfObject.addParam( "wmode", "transparent" );
By doing that, the Flash app started acting really strange in Internet Explorer (6&7). I removed the line today and all seems fine again…

What did wmode=opaque do? This is what I normally use to display HTML on top of Flash…

[...] my previous post I thought that swfobject was causing the wmode=transparent problem in IE. However, I was wrong. [...]

Hi Jorrit, thank you for your suggestion, but it didn’t work for us.
