Using ColorBox to play Flash video embedded simply with via <object><embed>
in a custom player as well as through a streaming service within FlowPlayer.
Flash continues to play regardless of CSS hidden state (display:none
) when an "inline" ColorBox is closed. This is not true in any other browser, and not true in older versions of Firefox. FF seems to be the culprit across operating systems as well.
The only solution I've found that can address the problem use .remove()
to kill off the video. While this could be bound to ColorBox closing it doesn't seems feasible to create an agnostic solution for multiple flash popups on a page and across a site.
Wondering what else I could be missing to stop this behavior?
