I am using the gdriving module and really appreciate it. Thank you. I have a small issue that literally "popped up." When I click for driving directions, the directions overlay doesn't display over the Flowplayer video on my page. It works fine displaying
over a Youtube video. I tried it in Mozilla and Chrome with the same results.

Just tried getting directions overlay and had a blip.tv video on the page, it didn't display either. It covers the rest of the page content well. Seems it generally doesn't show up over embedded videos. I am embedding them using the cck Embedded Media Field.
Thanks,
Joseph

Thinking it might be the same issue, I tried implementing the css hack in the middle of the following page from google groups (2/3 down the page from user Jacinto):

anyway, it didn't seem to work, same deal as before...displays under the video content.

The problem is with the Flash. Have you tried things like wmode="transparent"?

Well, it seems that this the most often mentioned culprit for this problem: for example.

Now that you pointed it out, I searched the issue queue for emfield and see that Youtube seems to be the only video type with wmode set to transparent in the embedded field module, so it is likely that this is the reason it happens with the others.

I was hoping there was another workaround, because the embedded media module has so many players that need this configuration set,
and no one has yet championed this functionality to make it in. If it were me personally embedding it each time, that would be a cinch to type the parameter in, but I need to open the embed functionality to people who can't configure the settings for a flash object.

in the flowplayer module, wmode has to be set to opaque for gdriving facebox overlay to work with flowplayer:

this still doesn't solve my issue unfortunately, because i have twenty other players that need some sort of wmode configuration in embedded media field, but at least it's a start...
