(Get the code!)
Ignore that... it's happening on youtube.com with both conkeror and firefox, and with both xulrunner versions (1.9.0, 1.9.1). For posterity, here's what I did:
1) Go to http://
2) Click on video which is linked inline. Widget graphically responds to mouseover and click event, but video doesn't play.
The plot thickens, however. This video *does* work (now I'm using just conkeror and xulrunner 1.9.1):
http://
This video auto-plays just fine, but clicking the mouse to pause it doesn't work -- *most of the time*... but if I click it many times in rapid succession, *one* of the clicks will eventually get through and pause it. Same with unpausing.
So the click event is being sent, in any case: the graphical representation of the widget changes on click. And the pausing does happen *sometimes*. Perhaps the event isn't making it to the "video playback" handler --- being consumed (sometimes) prior to that? Perhaps handler is broken? But I don't know flash code or the plugin code, so perhaps this is all nonsense. :-\
In any case, why does that one video work while the other one doesn't? Like I said, I know nothing of flash. Is there a significant difference in the way that these videos are "embedded" on the page --- like whatever <script> tags, etc. that you use to put flash in a page?
