too many transparency

blog-2006-10-24
As you may know, people in the RealMac support forum revealed incompatibility of PostcardViewer plugin under Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino. For more detail please refer known problem part of PostcardView plugin page. I postpone the improvement of the SimpleViewer plugin (including Blocks support), and am researching problem of the Overlay and Launcher style on Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino.
According to my researching until now it has been discovered that Firefox (Mac OS X) cannot display the Flash by transparent style.
I think it's specification of Flash player (or plugin) for Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino, because Firefox for Windows can display Flash with transparent style. Simultaneously, this means I have no chance to implement HTML of Overlay style and Launcher style for Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino.

As a tentative measure, I will add a new parameter that sets the overlay block transparency. (In current version, this parameter is fixed to 0.6) If you set this parameter to over than 1.0, the overlay block will be solid black. You will obtain compatibility in Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino instead of losing a cool transparent background.

I think Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino's share of browser market is very few... I don't like this kind of rotten excuse (moreover, I'm Mac user). However please accept my plugin specification for some time to come.
