|  Ameobob | Feb 26, 2007 9:01pm | | this happens to me too, i like how it grays out to allow for a more immersive viewing experience but, i'd like it to come back when i wiggle the mouse or hit a spacebar or something. |

What version of what browser are you using? What operating system?
Thanks,
Eric |

| | Ameobob | Feb 27, 2007 5:50am | i'm running vista, firefox 2.0.0.2, and the latest SU. I blame vista. oh yeah, and i can't switch tabs while it's grayed out either; that's the truly frustrating part.
awesome sauce-em. |

Did the Flash movie steal focus at all? Let me know if clicking on the page background works.. I know sometimes Flash steals keyboard focus for me in FF, sporadically on any website with Flash.
How about you, baracuda68? What browser and OS? |

|  sh0rtbus56 | Mar 10, 2007 9:59am | | happens to me too, wiht firefox 2.0.0.2 and windows xp SP2. there is a report filed, and i sent in a ticket. call it "dim" instead of grey-out. one way to break dim is to make a new tab then close it...annoying but it works. |

|  ebbot | Apr 5, 2007 12:41am | | I've had somewhat similar problems in Gentoo and Xubuntu. The videos lags every 30 seconds and I can't do nothing. The gray out affects the videos but it also happens when the video seems to resize within the frame. Its bugging me to watch something that lags that often. Playing it on the original site is no problem... |

| | OrunXP | Apr 11, 2007 5:54pm | I have the same problem on
Windows XP Pro SP2 + FF 2.0.0.3,
It seems to happen only to videos from MetaCafe for me |

| | frenchfrog | Apr 13, 2007 11:01am | Flash version? (see about:plugins for Firefox user).
Should look like:
Shockwave Flash
File name: NPSWF32.dll
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45
Verify that it's handling the 'swf' files.
Perhaps try updating if you have a older version? Adobe Flash Player Download Center
Windows
And gives test URL? ;) |

| | OrunXP | Apr 14, 2007 9:44am | I always have the newest everything =)
I'll get a test URL next time it occurs |
