I rather change my concept then using hacks like these, which have a very temporary lifetime anyway. But some people may be ok with this solution indeed.

AS2, not AS3 but it shouldn’t be too hard to convert

That you replied so quickly on this blogpost, shows Adobe cares much about the quality and experiences of their technologies. Always nice to feel there’s a human face in this ‘giant’ corporations.

It are indeed the browsers who harm themselves in this continues non-stop browser wars. Not handling standards all together. It woud save the web from a lot of trouble, if they would.

Don’t worry about my time :D hairs enough on my head …still ;)

In this case we’re asking the browser to accept plugin input directly into its own compositing stack, instead of blasting direct to screen.

Weirdest WMODE problem I’ve seen has been one where asking the browser to print the webpage would print the SWF upside down. Others have had accessibility differences.

If it’s just in Player, we can fix it ourselves. But if it’s in the communication with the browsers, it’s harder.

I’m sorry you lost time on it though. :(
