Heads up for Flash developers: Change in Invite Friends flow

In a update that will go out tonight, we're going to add contact imports in the invite process. This will help developers promote their applications more, as users can invite friends not on hi5 to register and use applications. The new flow will create an AJAX-based pop up on the canvas page (see screenshot below.) Your requests via requestShareApp will also pop up this new UI. 

This means that if you use Flash in your application, you need to make sure your application will not render on top of the AJAX box, making it impossible for your users to send invites. To let the invite box show up at the top, you can either:

   1. Set the wmode="transparent" on your <embed> tag, or

   2. Include a <param name="wmode" value="transparent" > if your using an <object> tag.

Please make the necessary changes to your existing applications. We're also making the inclusion of these attributes a mandatory requirement for any new applications submitted to the gallery.
