Firefox shrinks my swf file

Please see the attached two samples.
Firefox is shrinking my swf header. It works fine in ie, safari, chrome, but not in firefox.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Is it in the flash file or in the html?
Thanks in advance for you time.

Yeah, that embedding code looks to be a few bricks short of a full load compared to just about any I've seen. What was used to create it?

I'm using the latest version of Firefox V29.0.1 Firefox cache settings no longer working for SWF files. can you help on

Firefox caching on SWF files (Adobe Flash files) are not caching at browser level. But the same SWF Files are caching at other browsers like Google Chrome and IE.
But when i see the about:cache service information, I can see SWF Files are there in the disk cache device. When ever i hit the same page, the SWF files are downloaded from the server not from the browser, but the fetch count for that SWF file will get increase in disk cache device. So it's taking time to load the SWF files every time when i hit the page.
I'm requesting your help on this SWF File caching.

Firefox will not load my swf file. Runs perfectly in all other browsers. Help!

I've developed a website (www.fit-mamas.com.au) whereby you click on the black & white image and get a pop-up window running a video. The video is an .flv file running via a .swf file loaded from an html file. The .swf file was produced using Flash CS3. The video loads perfectly in all browsers except for Firefox which just displays a blank screen with video controls. I've been researching online for hours, as this problem is a common one, but nobody else's solutions are working for me. Any help would be appreciated. My code is as follows:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"
id="fit-mamas" width="640" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="fit-mamas.swf">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain">
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
width="640" height="400"
src="fit-mamas.swf" name="fit-mamas"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF" quality="high"
swLiveConnect="true" allowScriptAccess="samedomain"
></embed>
</object>

The video works for me on Linux. The server seems to be slow and playing stops all the time.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

[SOLVED] SWF files are not working in Firefox 5.0.1. When visiting websites with 'zoom' on photos Forefox asks how to handle rather than just going to zoom

On previous versions of Firefox I was able to use the 'zoom' feature on photos at retail websites. This no longer works. (You can go to Territory Ahead as an example). Firefox asks what to do with the SWF file. There is no option to use Shockwave (I think this is a Shockwave file). Thanks for your help. Warren

Ooops. Never mind. I recently upgraded other programs and I no longer had the Shockwave player installed in my system. Reinstalled it and all if well.

Swf files will not open in firefox

hi,
I can not get my pages where I have swf files to open in firefox. I have several pages
with sound also and they will not open. here is the code that I am using. I have probably
8 pages of flash and the rest of the pages are javascript and html.
page10 = "<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,2,0\" width=\"578\" height=\"680\" id=\"page10\" align=\"middle\"><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"sameDomain\"   /><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"false\" /><param name=\"movie\" value=\"Issue007/Images/page10.swf\" /><param name=\"quality\" value=\"high\" /><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#ffffff\" /><embed src=\"Issue007/Images/page10.swf\" quality=\"high\" wmode=\"transparent\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"578\" height=\"680\" name=\"page10\" align=\"middle\" allowScriptAccess=\"sameDomain\" allowFullScreen=\"false\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" pluginspage=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\" /></object>";
page10Html = InsertDinamicDiv(10, "page10", "", 0, 0, 586, 680, "", "", "", "");
    page10Html.innerHTML = page10;
This is a magazine on the web and prior issues have loaded in firefox using the same code but not the pages with sound.
I hope someone can help. I have no problems in internet explorer. I am having problems with apple also. I figured if I got firefox working then apple would work. again in prior issues, we could see the pages in apple.
thanks,
Jennifer

you're missing the mozilla embedding code. use:
page10 = '<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="578" height="680" id="page10" align="middle">

PrevFrame() buttons in a swf file inserted in html not working in Firefox

Hi!
I have a very weird problem.
I have created a photo gallery using AS3 in Flash CS5. I have used prevFrame() and nextFrame() actions for "previous photo" and "next photo" buttons as well as for "previous thumbnails" and "next thumbnails" buttons.
All the buttons work fine when i run the swf files as well as when i run the swf files in Firefox 8.0 and IE9. However, once I insert this swf file into my html file using Dreamweaver CS5->Insert->Media->swf, the "previous" buttons dont work in Firefox 8.0! the previous image button works sometimes whereas the previous thumbnails button does not work at all! They work fine in IE9. The next buttons also work fine in every browser. Heres my code:
stop();
thumbprev_btn.visible=false;
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextimage);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, previmage);
thumbprev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, prevthumbs);
thumbnext_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextthumbs);
function nextimage(event:MouseEvent):void
if(mc_content.currentFrame==mc_content.totalFrames)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(1);
else
mc_content.nextFrame();
function previmage(event:MouseEvent):void
if(mc_content.currentFrame==1)
mc_content.gotoAndStop(mc_content.totalFrames);
else
mc_content.prevFrame();
function nextthumbs(event:MouseEvent):void
thumbprev_btn.visible=true;
nextFrame();
if(currentFrame==3)
thumbnext_btn.visible=false;
function prevthumbs(event:MouseEvent):void
thumbnext_btn.visible=true;
prevFrame();
if(currentFrame==1)
thumbprev_btn.visible=false;
Please help.

Thankyou Ned. The html file published by flash worked perfectly however the problem persisted even if i used this html file's code. But strangely, the problem disappeared after a few days! Now the original dreamweaver code is also working fine.

Swf file opens in IE but not in firefox

I have windows xp and flash player9. I created a swf file and published it for flash player 9 and ActionScript3 and embedded it into a web page. It opens nicely in IE8 but when I try to open it in firefox 3.6, I get the message "Content of this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player" and a little box invites me to download.
I tried publishing for flash player 6 and ActionScript2, but get the same results.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

I can't say if this will fix it, but you can try putting quotation marks around "_blank"... it is a String argument so it should be quoted just like the URL is.

Embedded SWF files auto starting in IE but set to not auto play - Chrome, Firefox, Safari work ok

One of the web masters at my school has embedded several Captivate 5 swf files in a web page. I had re-exported all of them to not auto start after we realized that the originals were set to auto play upon loading (someone else made the orginials...). Caches have been cleared on IE9, but yet, when that page loads, all of the no auto-play swfs start playing. On Chrome, Firefox and Safari, none of them start playing when the page is loaded. Does anyone have a clue why IE9 might be doing this and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Sue

Am I correct in assuming that when your web developer set these SWFs up on the same page that he did not use the default HTM page that Captivate creates? Did he just embed them into the web page using standard Dreamweaver code for SWFs?
Do the same Captivate SWFs start automatically if you upload them to your web server individually with the HTM and JS files that Captivate creates? If not, then your web developer might be better off embedding the content in his web page using individual iframes pointing at the HTM file rather than the method he previously chose.

Swf file plays in IE8 but not Firefox or Safari

I've inserted an swf file in my webpage using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert/Media/swf function. It plays fine in IE8 but won't work at all in Firefox or Safari. I can view flash files in other websites using these browsers and I've updated my version of flash so I can only put it down to a coding thing. Website is www.201.com.au and the Dreamweaver code follows. Any suggestions??
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="958" height="242" id="FlashID" title="201_Gallery">

      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      
      <param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      
      
      <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../flash/201.swf" width="958" height="242">

        <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
        <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
        <param name="expressinstall" value="../Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
        
        <div>
          <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
          <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"> <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
        </div>
        
      </object>
      
    </object>

The code you have posted is not the same code as used in:
<div id="gallery">
in the link above.
The reason that the Flash is not displaying in FF is that the portion of the code used by FF was omitted. The code currently used on the page only works in IE.
I'm no great fan of the IE conditional statements used in the code you posted so I don't blame you for not using it. But you do need to provide something for FF.... the old, out dated method would be to add and <embed> for FF... here's the newer method..
So either use code you posted above or better yet, get rid of that and replace the current <object> with
<div id="gallery">
<object id="FlashID" data="flash/201.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="958" height="242">
   <param name="movie" value="flash/201.swf">
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
     <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
     <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0"/>
</object>
</div>
Give that a try. Will work in both FF and newer IE versions.

I can't seem to properly open saved Flash (.swf) files with Shockwave in Firefox.

I have saved .swf flash files on my computer. I can view flash files when part of an internet page, but when I try to open the saved ones on Firefox, it asks me if I want to download them. I have tried to change the settings in the 'options' and 'applications' thing in the 'Tools' part of the menu bar, but while the SWF file(application/x-shockwave-flash) content type is automatically set to use Shockwave in Firefox, I can't find a way to do the same with the SWF file (application/download) content type, which seems to include saved swf files.

Just out of curiosity, try playing the song in a different program . . . maybe Windows Media Player to see if it works. I wonder if it's corrupted....

.swf file hangs in Firefox and Safari

I'm having a problem viewing content with .swf files in Firefox. It's weird because it worked two days ago. I'm wondering if a Flash or Firefox update caused the problem.
Here is a link to the site I'm trying to view.
http://digitalperfection.info/woodsbros/7621sanmateo/
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.
Leona

It hangs on my system too, so I'd say the problem is in the site or the swf, and definitely not in FF, Safari, or Flashplayer.

SWF files won't display in Firefox 2.0

Apologies in advance if this already has been covered.
Couldn't find it via the search tool, and am desperately on a
deadline:
Using Flash 8, I created a very simple presentation. I
embedded the SWF file in the HTML page. It works fine in IE, but I
just get a blank, white box in Netscape and Firefox. Same goes for
all my other SWF files that I've created using Flash 8.
Two notes: I published the files as Flash 8 version, and I
have ensured that the Flash 8, or higher, version of the browser
player plugin is installed. I've also tried on machines inside, and
outside, of firewalls.
The problem page is at:
http://nabj.org.
Desperate to find a solution this morning.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

check your html:
<param name="movie" value="
http://nabj.org/static/nabjHome/nabjHome.swf"
/><param name="quality" value="high" /><param
name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="nabjHome.swf"
quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="250" height="315"
name="nabjHome" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/>
the value:
value="
http://nabj.org/static/nabjHome/nabjHome.swf"
doesn't match the embed src:
embed src="nabjHome.swf"
try it with embed src="
http://nabj.org/static/nabjHome/nabjHome.swf"

Firefox 3.6 when I open a SWF file, a wrong mouse click, it show a recursive open window until the PC resource is used up or the system hang up, I try to reinstall firefox but not solved.

Windows XP SP3, flash player 10.2, Shockwave 11.5.9.240 , when I open a SWF file with firefox 3.6.15, it shows some options to choose action and I made a wrong click. The firefox nightmare is a "open recursive windows" until the system hang. When I use Internet Explorer 8 to open it, it is fine, Try to uninstall firefox and reinstall it, but in vain, how can I restore it?

You don't have the Shockwave Flash Player installed for Firefox. You may have the ActiveX version installed for IE, but Firefox needs the Plugin version. And Shockwave 11.5.9.240 that is installed for Firefox isn't the same thing.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
''Or maybe get the previous '''r102''' version from here. IMO, there's problems with the latest version of Flash.'' <br />
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

Why does swf file reposition in Firefox?

The swf file on my index page looks OK in IE, but changes position in Firefox. This is my first CSS-from-scratch site. It can be viewed here: http://www.foreseesonusa.com/testing2012site/index.html

I'm seeing a number of things that I would suggest you change.
First, you are using position:absolute for general page layout... this is often a cause of page display errors. Rarely if ever is it necessary to use any type of declared position.
Second, you have a declared height of 501px for #center... again, rarely do you need to declare a height... just let the content fill it up.
Third, while you seem to have included enough height in #center for the .swf <object>, yet you did not include that <object> in #center, instead leaving it out of #center and sloshing around in #content.
To clarify this last point, view the <object> in Firebug.
Including the <object> in #center may help, but you still should get rid of all the declared positioning.

SWF files won't play in Firefox

When opening SWF files from my computer, Firefox won't run the file, and instead opens a 'save' box so I can apparently re-save the file to my hard drive. This happens both when I drag and drop a file from Windows Explorer and also when I choose 'Open File' from the File menu in Firefox. This only started a few months ago and I haven't been able to find a working solution online.

When I Generate, the link points to file:///c:/users/...../www.[website
address]file.swf
<file:///c:\users\.....\www.%5bwebsite%20address%5dfile.swf> . It's looking
for the file in the generated project, but it looks confused. J
I looked to see if I could import the files, but there doesn't seem to be
any import for swf files.
Can I simply put them in the directory with the project files, and point the
link that them there?
I don't want to publish to see what it's looking for when it's published,
since it's a client's site, and I don't want them to see something that
isn't working.
Thanks!
