| The video player is floating on top of my menus and covers my floating windows. I saw in the ascx for video player that the "wmode", "tranparent", parameters had been commented out but restoring them still has not corrected the problem. Do you have a fix available? |

This is a well known problem between flash and the solpart menu. I would have solved this in the past by setting the flash object wmode to transparent and for some odd reason opaque. (In module settings on last vendors module I used for flash objects on a DNN site)
Here is a post on the asp.net forums about the issue
http://forums.asp.net/p/933111/1099412.aspx
Its not clear to me why transparent doesnt work 100% of the time, but other users have noted that as well in that thread.
It seems the solution is to offer a way of setting the wmode value of the SWFObject. The UVG_VideoPlayer settings should be module specific, not portal wide as they are now, in order to allow the most flexibilty for each UVG_VideoPlayer Module. Perhaps there is another way to fix this problem.
In my test enviroment, it occured when I did not use a module container. When a container is displayed the menu and flash work perfectly together. Without a container the menu shows up behind the SWFObject.
Suggestions? Other than to use a container as I just described?

var fObj = new FlashObject('/DesktopModules/UltraVideoGallery/UltraVideoGallery.swf', 'UVG', "500", "425", 7, "");
fObj.flashvars = 'vId=1&portalId=0&baseUrl=/DesktopModules/UltraVideoGallery/';
fObj.addParam("bgcolor", "#ffffff");
fObj.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");
fObj.write("UVGContainer1111");
Adding this line would fix the problem for most people, but perhaps create others problems in other situations, which is why a module setting would be perfect...
script fObj.addParam("wmode", "transparent");

I see browsers that display 'objects' (IE) wont have wmode set to transparent, but those using 'embed' would have it set(firefox)
<noscript>
<object classid='clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000' codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0' width='500' height='425' id='UVG'>
<param name='allowScriptAccess' value='sameDomain' />

</object>
</noscript>
Meanwhile most users are going to have javascript working and not even see the code inside this tag. They will using the SWFObject will need to have that set via javascript
script fObj.addParam("wmode", "transparent");

does it work if you add
fObj.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
before fObj.write("UVGContainer<%=ModuleId%>"); in VideoPlayer.ascx? |

Thats what was needed.
The code in the noscript tags,will only be seen by users without javascript enabled, and no javascript means no solpart menu either. So this works fine.
I'll continue testing, thanks =D |

| Has this issue been resolved? It's a show stopper for me. If UVG hasn't fixed the problem, is there a hack or something to get me by? |

| It's the same problem the person above was having. My url is dnn.reawire.com. The first page has a video player module that hides the dropdown menu above it. The developer for Navigation Suite told me that this is an issue with Flash and that I need to set my videos to wmode=transparent. How can I do that in the video player? There's no setting for it. the only way I know how to do it is to hand code it, but I don't know how to do that with UVG. Also, I pointed out to the Nav Suite developer that the DNN solpartmenu has a fix for this issue called delaysubmenu=true, but he said that he doesn't have anything like that for his module. Convenient huh? So here I am, hoping that there is a solution on the UVG end. I'm sorry, but I'm really tired of DNN developers passing the buck. Can't we stop pointing fingers and just fix the problem on both ends? I honestly can't believe that neither one of these reputable module developers considered this issue with Flash. It seems that every time I buy a DNN module there's some major bottleneck. Can I do what I am asking or do I have to tell my client that the DNN community doesn't support Flash properly? |

At first, I'm sorry for all troubles you got.
yes, adding wmode=transparent to the flash object can fix this problem, now open VideoPlayer.ascx in /Desktopmodules/UltraVideoGallery folder, you can see this line:
!--param name='wmode' value='transparent' /--
You can see this line is commented, if you uncomment it( remove !-- in the beginning and -- in the end), the menus should be properly displayed.
However, the full screen button in UVG won't work in this case, this is not a problem of UVG, it's a bug or limitation of flash plugin, that is why this line is commented.
By the way, you use Firefox, right? in IE it's no problem.
I didn't hear about the delaysubmenu=true option for slopartmenu, you can ask the author try to add it, if it still doesn't work, then my suggestion is:
1, use IE when you want to access the drop down menu.
2, in most cast you don't need to access the drop down menu, isn't it? in most case you don't need the Help, Print, Settings, Delete menu, maybe you need the Move menu but you can move it by mouse drag and drop instead.
Thank you. |

OK, so THAT helps a lot. Here's the code that works for me in the VideoPlayer.ascx file.
<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="VideoPlayer.ascx.vb" Inherits="BizModules.UltraVideoGallery.VideoPlayer" %>
[script removed] |

| OK so the code won't paste here for some reason. So what I did was uncomment out the line you said to AND I put in fObj.addParam("wmode", "transparent"); in the javascript. All is well now. Another DNN disaster avoided. WooHoo! |
