I've found this problem in tonnes of forums, but its never been solved (and I
desperately need the solution before I can go online), so here's a challenge
for you....

When I make my flash movie's background transparent using the
wmode="transparent" attribute of the object tag, the input text fields inside
it start to malfunction in netscape/mozilla: the cursor disappears and the
keyboard acts english, even though its german!

Everything works fine in IE or if I get rid of the transparency.

I'm using Mozilla 1.7 with the Flash 7 plugin.

Any einstein out there with a solution!!?? Would be very grateful for any help!

I'm afraid Einstein could not even help here.
WMODE is known to cause problems, from crashing browsers to disabling actions ,
screwing up buttons etc... On top of it for a very long time only IE on windows was able to
display it , just recently latest version of Netscape and few other browsers has join the club.
There is no work around to make it cross OS cross browser compatible because Wmode require ActiveX
controls . It is buggy and very unstable feature and there is nothing we can do about it.
