Hello,
We are using swfobject to show our flash movie and are very happy with it. It has been great.
We are facing one problem though with the flash movies in firefox. I am showing a movie (an audio-video or just audio broadcaster or player) and to manage screen real estate I am giving user an option to hide the movie. The problem I am facing is that in IE the movie continues to run while its hidden, i.e. the user continues to broadcast or receive the audio-video or audio, where as in firefox the movie stops when hidden and user can not broadcast or receive.
We are using gwt for our client. I tried the panel.setVisible(false) and also parentPanet.remove(moviePanel) to hide the movie and correspondingly setVisible(true) and add(moviePanel) to show it again. Both the schemes show same problem in firefox. The movie stops when I try to hide it.
Has anyone encountered this problem. Any suggestions, ideas are most welcome.
Thanks,
-Jayant.
