    I’m trying to use both ajax search with flash video, using the UFO and SWFObject, I’ve tried both.. swf object seems to work the best. but it’s buggy

    http://www.xviewct.com/examples/videos/cylinder

    play the video and then do a search for "products" , and this does only appear to be an issue with FireFox, but that’s my main browser.

    thanks

      The only issue I see is the z-index: 8 on div#video_player. Remove that and the Flash no longer covers the results in FF.

        after more inspections it turns out the issue was only happening in FF on Mac, then I switched to SWFObject with autoplay and it works "better"

        and you must have caught me in mid-debugging on the CSS thing.

          I also have issues with AjaxSearch and SWFObject in FF.

          More specific, I can not get the video to autoplay if the "type ahead" search is active (ajaxSearchType=`1`).
          Interestingly, the video would start playing as soon as I typed something in the search field, but else remains blank. Sometimes it stutters into action after some time.

          Regular Ajax Search works fine.

          How did you enable Autoplay?

          Cheers,

          Andreas
