Why doesn't flash seem to work?

[Moooooo]

Hi I am new to this site, I was looking for an answer to the question why doesn't some of my flash not work in firefox when it does in IE?

Anyone with an answer?

You must use embed in mozilla instead of object.

Thank-you for your wizdom, I searched for that answer for over an hour! But, I still have a couple questions. If I use embed will that not wreck IE's ability to run it?

BTW, what is the proper syntax for embedding flash using embed?

[azlatin2000]

it wll not wreck it. if you really want to use object you can use the embed tag between the object tags.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="{$WIDTH}" height="{$HEIGHT}" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"><param name="movie" value="{$FILE}"><param name="quality" value="high"><embed src="{$FILE}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="{$WIDTH}" height="{$HEIGHT}" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" /></object>

Thank-you!!! It works! My problem was I was using <embed src="{$FILE}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="{$WIDTH}" height="{$HEIGHT}" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed> and it wouldn't work. Now it does. (That is a problem with using wizards, sometimes they don't work.

Attention Evrsoft, you might want to fix that. The difference was /> instead of > and the ending </embed>

No, the /> is there for xhtml. Evrsoft is dead and ithere is no FP2k4. It is pointless to tell someoen to fix it cuz dissasembling software is illegal and the Admin abandoned Evrsoft.
