If it's not up to Adobe fixing this, then I change my question to: Is
Adobe NOW actively talking with browser manufacturers to solve this?
I don't know for sure either way... I know that there are lots of
discussions among
I'll try to find out more, particularly from the Player team's
contacts with Microsoft, Mozilla, Apple and Opera.
THANK YOU
their complexity and inconsistency has caused real hurt to people too.

I'd lean towards better guidance in documentation about the true

Hi again,
Browser differences are browser differences
Well, I see your point here, but I think we're not talking about small
things like rendering the border 1px bigger. We're talking about a
huge amount of problems that just make the use of wmode impossible,
IMHO.
The Player is the same
Ok, fair enough, it seems everything it's up to the browsers. However,
users, bosses and even developers don't care about that. What they see
is that the application is not working properly. What they see is that
Flash is doing weird things _again_. What they see is that they
cannot trust
Brilliant. Just brilliant. Now if someone points out a problem with
Flash, then is an ignorant. Who do you think you are talking about
people you don't know with such an arrogance?
Either the player or the browsers are having problems using wmode and
that's a FACT. You don't need to remind me

Don't use wmode. It's that simple. You can complain about it until
you're blue in the face and it won't do any
Hi again,
I'm just trying to get an answer from Adobe about the problem, nothing
more, nothing less. And if the answers is: hey dude, this is not
going to work properly, ever, then please just completely remove
wmode. It is getting people mad.
Then, I don't care (well, I care, but that's not
Steven,
I hate web development. That's why I do Flash development.
Although highly subjective, I can't agree with you enough. The points you
make capture my exact reasoning! However, I would argue that Flash has a
great share of its own problems, but at least you're only dealing with one
then please just completely remove
wmode.
Not everyone has to develop cross-platform websites becauase they have
specific target audiences that only use certain browsers and can thus
make good use of wmode. I think what's needed is better
documentation/disclaimers rather than throwing it out
if the answers is: hey dude, this is not
going to work properly, ever, then please just completely remove
wmode. It is getting people mad.

Sorry guys, it's my fault. I'm feeling completely idiot right now for
asking Adobe to fix and/or improve the player.
Adobe, you know what? Don't bother, we can always say that HTML is
worst. Who cares about crossplatform and stuff like that. It (seems
to) work on Win/IE, so that's enough.

You might want to think it twice before using wmode:

Anyone knows if Adobe is trying to fix this for the next release of the player?

It's easy to get the impression that the video is playing inside the the
