If you embed a flash video the video lays over the toolbar and you are no more able to click any of the toolbar items. For e.g. take any youtube video and add it to a node, than scroll the node bottom until the flash overlays the toolbar.

Are you using wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque in your tags? This is not really a Drupal issue, but rather its a Flash issue. Unless you explicitly set a wmode Flash ignores all z-index handling and forces itself on top of everything else on the page.

Seems not working in Firefox 3.5 with transparent:

<object width="640" height="505">
  <param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/foo" name="movie"/>
  <param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"/>
  <param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess"/>
  <param value="transparent" name="wmode"/>
  <embed width="640" height="505" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/foo"/>
</object>

Actually ... only Internet Explorer recognizes the <param> tag; Firefox, Safari & Chrome rely on the <embed> tag. Try this:

<object width="640" height="505">
  <param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/foo" name="movie"/>
  <param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"/>
  <param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess"/>
  <param value="transparent" name="wmode"/>
  <embed width="640" height="505" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/foo"  wmode="transparent"  />
</object>

If that doesn't work, please provide a URL

Ok, this works... I thought EMBED is IE only and OBJECT for all others... :-(

Hi,

I am having a major problem with the embedding of a you tube / flash video into a node. The video overlays and blocks out the menu and administration windows.

Seeing as the new administration overlay is so key to drupal 7, I don't think you can just say it's a flash issue. Embedding a you tube video is very common and I can see this leading to major problems with any newbie.

Is there a module I'm supposed to use to embed flash code (as it is copied from youtube) into text areas so that it doesn't conflict with the administration overlay?

I moved the above problem to a new issue que related to d7 overlay module specifically.

So I'm closing this one.
