Soundcloud object height issue

[awssmith]

In aSoundCloud.class.php, the object height is a variable, where it should be explicitly set to 81 (as it is in the embed):

<object height="$height" width="$width">
    <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F$id"></param>
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
    <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F$id" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed>
</object>

The result is that when a SoundCloud? file is added to a video slot in a column that is, say, 240px wide, the height of that object is set to 38px, and any content under the slot partially renders behind the video slot.

Screenshots attached. Thanks!

SoundCloud? in video slot as rendered in Firefox where object height is set to 38px

[awssmith]

and as rendered in Chrome where embed height is set to 81px as intended

Any progress on applying a fix for this issue? Thanks!

Apologies for the extraneous images... Just checking to see when this issue might be addressed. Thanks!

I'd like to make an additional request: when fixing the height issue, can you please add the wmode parameter for both the object and embed? This will prevent JS menus from appearing beneath the Flash elements (new screenshot attached):

<object height="81" width="$width">

<param name="WMode" value="Opaque"></param>
<param name="movie" value=" http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F$id"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src=" http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F$id" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%" wmode="opaque"></embed>

</object>

menu renders beneath flash object w/out wmode parameter

Fix for #1216: the height should be fixed at 81 pixels (soundcloud's only supported height) and the wmode should be respected in both object and embed cases. Also the width should be the passed width and not 100% in both object and embed cases.
Thanks to awssmith
