We developed a datagrid with flex to use in our applicactions. In IE it works fine, but in Firefox we have the following issue:
As you can see the menu's and floating windows get behind the flash/flex datagrid. The solution seems to be to set the wmode to transparent on the flashobject (we use swfobject to write the object out to the html). If this is set , the windows come out right, but we can't select multiple rows in our grid. If we remove the wmode=transparent on the object, we can select multiple objects, but we have the mayout issue.
I have searched multiple forums for a solution, it seems that adobe knows about this problem since about 3 years, but still does not have a solution for it. On the releasenotes of hte flashplayer they say that it must be possible to select multiple rows in firefox with 'wmode=opaque' in version r60 from the flash player. But i can't seem to find this version. In the archive on the adobe site you can only find versions 16, 20, 28, 45, 47, 48 and 115. This latest version still has the problem...
Does anyone have some sort of workaround for the issue ?
