TextInput with Transparent Flash Player

Postby eflc » Mon Jun 27, 2011 2:41 am

I understand that in transparent mode the control cannot get focus (why actually? what have layered windows to do with it?) but when I set MakeParentTransparent to true, it sort of works, that is I can focus the InputBox and type into it perfectly ok. The only odd thing is that the Input text cursor flickers unreasonably quickly. Is there any way to fix/work around the issue?

Is there are way to make the normal FlashPlayerControl be "transparent", by setting the WMode or something like that?

Hello,

TTransparentFlashPlayerControl is not a window control, it means that TTransparentFlashPlayerControl can't receive focus.

Unfortunately, no; this is a known issue.

The real semitransparency is possible with TTransparentFlashPlayerControl only.

Thank you.
