What is WMode?
WMode is an Adobe Flash Player parameter that controls how a Flash application interacts with other HTML elements on the page. WMode can be used to create a layer between the Flash application and other elements on the page, thereby increasing performance and improving the user experience. WMode can be set to either “window” or “opaque” mode.
Why Use WMode?
Using WMode can improve the performance of a Flash application by creating a layer between the Flash application and other HTML elements on the page. This layer can help to reduce conflicts between the Flash application and other elements, such as HTML form elements, iframes, and other scripts. WMode can also be used to improve the responsiveness of the Flash application by allowing the browser to render the Flash application in its own layer.
