Flex iframe wmode causes Textbox issues


hi everyone,

 

this old issue, i've searched , searched , haven't yet found suitable workaround issue.

 

i have flex app requirement have html popup, have used flex iframe. issue layering of older browsers requires wmode="opaque", when textboxes stop receiving keyboard input in safari.

 

does know of working solution problem?

 

i've found solutions such as:

1) positioning html input forms in exact position flex input forms. unfortunately not option app i'm working on big , has hundreds of textboxes.

2) setting focus app on key-down, no luck -> http://www.igorcosta.org/?tag=flex-hacks

3) suggested on stack overflow maybe mxftetextinput may work, tried this, no luck.

 

thanks can give!

i'm going answer own question based on research issue:

 

adobe not provide supported way embed html inside flex applications.  flex iframes popular unsupported way view html positioned above applications using special windowing mode (wmode opaque) on flash player. opaque wmode takes layering , compositing consideration, big problem wmode inconsistent performance of flash player across different browsers.  there number of documented issues across firefox , safari occur when wmode used.

 

this helpful , informative post -- provides theoretical solutions if want spend time implementing them --- http://www.deitte.com/archives/2008/07/dont_use_iframe.htm
