Flash works in IE and not Firefox

Hello All,
Below is a piece of html code I am using to view an embeded
flash movie. As you can see the file is located on my hard drive -
this (the .swf file on the hard drive) is being used to simulate
content that will eventually be placed on a CD. Also the code is an
html page that is part of a Java program that uses
"continue"servlets to advance to other pages. I am able to view all
flash files that are located on the server with both IE6 and
Firefox 1.5.0.4. The problem exists when I get to the page
referenced below I am able to view the movie problem free in IE.
However, FireFox wants no part of playing the movie when I get to
the page. I can however view the movie if I open the page directly
with firefox.

I have tried numerous methods in trying to solve this and I
am now at the end of my rope in tryiong to figure this out. So fare
I have checked:
- the MIME type on the server this is fine.
- different variations of codes

- the flash pluggin
- I have delted my firfox profile and created a new one
-etc
Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm not sure if your having the same problem I did, but my
flash file was doing the same thing. It would play in one but not
the other. It ended up being the fact that I had changed the file
name but hadn't changed the name in the html.
I can't remember which is which, but I think the embed tag is
for IE and the object tag is for everything else. The file source
must be exactly the same within both tags for fire fox and IE to
play the file.
I hope this helps and good luck.

Why does my php export feature work in IE and not firefox?

Why does my php export feature work in IE and not Firefox? I've written a web application which contains a SigmaGrid. The grid controls reload, add update delete, print and export to csv all work in IE8. The export feature does not work in Firefox.

I'm not sure what's going on for you. I've had 4 other developers - two on Comcast and two on Fios review my work and they get the control and export action in the IE8 version but not the FF10 version.
Thanks for looking into this for me, though. I appreciate the effort. '' The operation was a success doctor, but the patient died.''

Why does a flash show in IE and not Firefox?

The flash on the website wrrp.org does not show in Firefox and the copyright statement shows in the middle of the page when using Firefox.

There is only object code with a classid for IE and no code for Firefox. Firefox ignores code with a classid.
This should work:

Madison Square Garden web site opens but when I click on view all concerts tab at the MSG site it does not open. It works with AOL but not Firefox

I go to '''www.thegarden.com''' I click on the tab '''View Full Calendar'''. It does not open. It works on AOL but not Firefox. And for some reason it also does not work when I use Internet Explorer. The majority of times when I click on that tab (in Firefox) it does not work. On a rare occasion it will open. I am not doing anything differently either time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0

Web sites containing mms links work in IE but not Firefox 4.0. when I play the video in IE, I go into IE, and locate the mms link under properties, when I right click. If I copy the mms link form IE directly into firefox, it will work. There ought to be a better way to do this. Also, I am using a hardware firewall, not a software firewall, and no proxy.

You need to use the file:// protocol, but you may still encounter problems if you fix that.

Quicktime plugin works in IE and not in safari

Hello,
I'm using Safari 2.0.1 for browsing the web. I'm on Tiger 10.4.2 and have QT7 pro.
Firewall is set to let Quicktime streaming pass through.
the following URL is extract from the allocine web site witch is the french movie portal.
http://www.allocine.fr/video/generation.mov?u=rtsp://a1622.v09806.c980.e.vq.akamaistream.net/7/1622/980 /41891159/quicktime.allocine.fr/nmedia/18/35/52/34/18397590_fa1_vosth.mov
under safari I've got the big blue Q and that's it. On IE it works fine.
Moreover on safari the end of the URL (beginning at RTSP) open quicktime player.
Sound to me like a bug but can't be sure.
You can check at www.allocine.com click on a movie and try to watch a trailer ("bande annonce" in french).
Moreover High definition trailer works fine on this site with quicktime....
really strange
maxime
just an add on : Trailers on apple web site works fine

Sorry but already done that. Quicktime is set to RTSP and SDP in the mime settings...
A person in the french forum got the salme problem than I and install IE. With IE he can got at allocine web site..
I'm convinced it's something to do with the HTML interpreter but can't point out.
On Safari the plugin seems not starting so I assume it's not the connexion and can't see why it would works under IE and not safari in this case...
Please, I don't want to why IE, get my Safari back to work on allocine web site with quicktime

Why is my airportxpr only working with Itunes and not with another music program

why is my airportxpr only working with Itunes and not with another music program??
I can not select/see other outputs in my sound selector.

You have not indicated which OS or which music program you have so I have listed a program called Airfoil to try for both Windows and Mac - it may work for you

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

HT3412 impossible to download my book ! I-photo 11 worked last month and not anymore.Download stops in the middle.

I-photo 11 worked last month and not anymore.Download stops in the middle.I have to shut MAc down and restart to debug.
What's wrong ?

Here's a fix that worked for some users:
Make sure this checkbox is checked in the System/Sharing preference pane:
If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.

Ipad screen went white with gray/black line through it. Worked one minute and not the next. It has not been jailbroken.

The ipad screen has went white and has a gray line running through the middle of it. It worked one minute and not the next. It has not been jail broken.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
