Video Player

Having some difficulties with getting videos to work on our C5 site. (This is 1 of 3 Posts I'm doing...they are a little different subject....thought it be best to separate)

Editing a Video Block:
when you have a video in a block, it seems to want to display the initial frame of the video, and oftentimes that is blocking the popup menu to state what you want to do with that block... (See attachment 20).

Then, when you actually do click on "Edit" that window is also blocked by the video controller (see attachment 21) and you really can't control the edit window.

Is this inherent in C5? Is it something mucky on our install?

To get this to stop, you must add to the embedd code;

<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
wmode="transparent"

Here is an example youtube embed:

<object width="228" height="188">
  <param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/watch?v=0PWwNzZGOXc=en&fs=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://youtube.com/watch?v=0PWwNzZGOXc=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="228" height="188"></object>
