Flash Settings are Greyed out

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Simply run the index.html from swfobject Folder; then right click on the 
swf, you will see that the flash player settings are "greyed out".
2. If we run the swf directly, without the index.html, then flash player is 
showing the settings. Flash is absolved, problem with the script? 
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I want the flash settings to be shown, so that I can select cam, mic etc.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SWFObject Version 2.2; Flash Player 10.0.32.18

Please provide any additional information below.
Windows XP (SP2); IE 6.0.2900

This is controlled by the menu param in the publish settings and is not a bug.

Ok, I belive I have tracked down what is causing the issue. There is a minium 
size 
required on the swf in order for the settings option menu item to be enabled. 

The UI for the settings menu needs at least 214px width by 137px height to show.

BTW - this is the exact same dimensions required to show the Express Install 
dialog.

The out of the box examples are 300x120px, so the height is stopping the dialog 
showing. I will look at updating the example files to adhere to the minimum 
dimensions...

Is this issue fixed? My SWF is full browser size but the settings option is 
still greyed out. It doesn't matter if I change displaymenu to true (also, I 
don't WANT to display the menu, I only want the settings).

This is a limitation of Flash Player and not a SWFObject bug.  I've added the 
item to the Frequently Asked Questions page:

http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/faq#25._Why_is_the_"Settings..."_option_
in_the_Flash_Playe

If you feel this requires further investigation, please provide more details, 
including a link to a (non)functioning example.

not sure if this has been answered or not, but having the wmode param set to 
gpu will 
disable the settings menu.

<param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> = good
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> = good
<param name="wmode" value="window" /> = good
<param name="wmode" value="gpu" /> = bad
