I’m using a jQuery plugin called “Isotope” to nicely output a mixture of news articles and advertising banners to a page.

I came across a small issue when using advertising banner’s in Flash format. For some reason, Flash content displayed randomly and mouse-clicks were not registered. This issue only seemed to only occur in Firefox. I couldn’t replicate this issue on other browsers.

Thankfully, only one additional line of code  needed to be added when when initially setting the Isotope plugin options:

$('#wall').isotope({
    itemSelector: '.box',
    animationEngine: 'css,
    layoutMode: 'masonry',
    transformsEnabled: false //Disable transformations
});

The following example helped me further in resolving my issue: http://isotope.metafizzy.co/tests/flash.html
