The Problem:

In Firefox 3.6 for Windows if you embed a Flash Movie with the wmode parameter in the object tag set as default (wmode=”window”) the mouse wheel event is not propagated correctly, instead it is captured automatically by the Flash movie making the scroll wheel not working properly.

Common Example (youtube video):

If you hover the mouse cursor over the embedded video, the mouse wheel doesn’t scroll any more, instead if you leave the embedded video area the mouse wheel scrolls correctly.

The Solution:

The only solution I have found so far is setting the wmode parameter in the object tag to “opaque” or “transparent” so the mouse wheel event is propagated correctly, but this solution is far away from ideal.
