Flash content overflows the scrollpane in PC Firefox

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I  used swfobject to place a couple of Flash files inside of the scrollpane.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It works great on Macs, but in Firefox on the PC the Flash files don't get
masked and scroll outside of the box.  In IE it redraws poorly, but I don't
think that's the script's fault! :)  I used a DIV inside of the content
area to force the height so that jscrollpane could find something to
calculate height from - if I didn't do that, the Flash appeared but there
was no scrollbar at all.

Please provide a URL to a page displaying the problem.

Using http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js and
jScrollPane.js 56 2009-02-23.

Hi,

I see you tried changing the wmode but I think you changed it in the wrong 
parameter.
It's needs to be passed in as a param, not as a flashvar:

swfobject.embedSWF("player.swf", "musicplayer", "210", "70", "8.0.0", '', {}, 
flashvars);

(variable still called flashvars but empty object first to be the actual 
flashvars
passed into the swf - the flashvars variable is now in the params position in 
the
arguments list).

Try that and let me know if it helps,

Cheers,

Kelvin :)

what should the wmode be to alleviate this problem? The linked file seems to be 
dead now... : (

http://djdm.com/media.php is the correct location.

You need to use:

var params = {wmode: "transparent"};
