Hello,

I have the known issue with wmode transparent and input textfield in my page. I know that the question is often asked but I have a special situation with that case.

I need to embed my swf with wmode=transparent but in my swf I have an input textfield and the bug with "@" or "." symbols exists.

I have a french keyboard and I decided to overcome this problem with a string replacement with the FirefoxWmodeFix class from Manmaru (see the link below).

http://www.manmaru.fr/mlab/?p=95

It works for my keyboard but I need that "trick" with EN/DE/IT keyboard. Could anyone help me with the right combination of keys on different keyboard and different OS system to display "@" and "." symbols.

I don't have any foreign Windows system to get the key code for each combination.

Or if anyone has another solution, I will be pleased to hear that one.

Thanks in advance for any help.

when embedding a Flash object with the <object and <embed tag, there is an attribute called "wmode". It seems that most of the time, wmode="transparent" is the same as wmode="opaque" as the Flash doesn't actually have any transparent color so that the bottom HTML element is to be shown. As… >>> More
