Flex does not auto load in Firefox and Opera but works in IE

I am using the following wrapper for deploying my Flex application. It works fine when the files are local but when the files are deployed on the server, IE works fine but I only see a blank screen in firefox and opera. However if I right click and click play the application runs fine. I don't understand what I need to do to make the Flex application autorun in Firefox and Opera as it works on IE (on server and local) and all browsers (when local).
I would be grateful for any help. I am wantonly including flashVars in both the object and embed tags to get it to be read in all browsers. The problem seems to be play="true" does not seems to be honored in Firefox and Opera when the flash in on a server but works when it is local. I have also tried accessing the flash directly without a HTML wrapper but the same problem happens only in firefox and opera but works in IE.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
           id="DistributorWarehouse" width="100%" height="100%"
   codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab">
   <param name="movie" value="/public/DISTRIBUTORWAREHOUSE.SWF" />
   <param name="quality" value="high" />
   <param name="bgcolor" value="#869ca7" />
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
   <param name="flashVars" value="CustNo=0000000004&Distp=2&Distfl=4&Distsl=0020&vkorg=GDMI&vtweg=CM&empl=X"/>
   <embed src="/public/DISTRIBUTORWAREHOUSE.SWF" bgcolor="#869ca7"
    width="100%" height="100%" name="DistributorWarehouse" align="middle"
    play="true"
    loop="false"
    quality="high"
    flashVars="CustNo=0000000004&Distp=2&Distfl=4&Distsl=0020&vkorg=GDMI&vtweg=CM&empl=X"
    allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
   </embed>
</object>

I found the cause of the problem. The server was compressing the swf file to reduce bandwidth and setting Content-Encoding: gzip. This means that Firefox and Opera receive the file but you have to right and click play to play the file or do a refresh. The solution is to change the server settings not to compress swf files. However I cannot understand why it should work in IE but not firefox or opera.

  • Flash player does not properly install on Firefox and Opera.

    Requirement for flash player just randomly started popping up on Firefox and Opera. I used the adobe uninstaller to uninstall flash player, reset computer then install again, but the installer finishes then when the web browser pops up to confirm in says:
    Adobe Flash Player could not be installed.
    You can troubleshoot your installation with the following resources:
    Troubleshooting Windows Installation
    Flash Player Help and Support
    Shockwave flash isn't installed in plugins but videos do load. On this "Flash Player Help" the animation does not load but videos on youtube does load and work.
    Does anyone know a solution for this?
    Thanks

    Hi Joface333,
    Please do the following:
    Close all browsers and apps that may use Flash Player (e.g. instant messaging clients, Pandora and the like).
    Run the uninstaller posted at the bottom of the Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs page
    Reboot the machine
    After logging back in, check the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and C:\Windows\SysWow64\Macroemd\Flash directory.FlashInstall.log file should exist in both directories.  mms.cfg file should only exist in the 'syswow64' directory.  Depending on what other Adobe software, if any, you have installed there may be other CFG files and a FlashPlayerTrust directory.  If there are other Flash Player files listed, take a screen-shot and post them using the instructions previously provided.
    Run the installers posted to the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows
    If there are any errors, take a screen-shot of the error dialog and upload the screen-shot and the FlashInstall.log file from both 'system32' and 'syswow64' directories using the instructions previously provided.

  • Spry Horizontal Menu causing site not to load using Firefox and Maverick OSX 10.9.2

    Why does Spry Horizontal Menu cause site not to load using Firefox and Maverick OSX 10.9.2?

    Your code is terribly malformed.
    There are multiple body tags & erroneous tags that overlap your <head> and other content tags. Get those fixed first.
    And you also have more than 1 doctype definition in the wrong place.
    If my assumption is correct, I think each include file you're using has its own doctype, body, html & head definitions causing final PHP to render all these on your output page.
    Run your site through W3 validator like Jon suggested earlier: [Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.ambppct.org/ - W3C Markup Validator
    Fix those and you should be good.

  • Preferences window does not open, only makes firefox window inactive but preferences window never shows up.

    Firefox 3.6 preferences work normally, tested also with ff 3.6 removed.

    You should check to see if an add-on is interfering with the process. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].

  • Firefox process does not stop. Reset Firefox and Restart with Add ons disabbled is also not working.

    I always need to stop firefox in the task manager.
    Resetting and restarting without add ons is not possible because Firefox hangs on shut down.

    Hi, I was experiencing the same problem since a couple of weeks. I am on Firefox 18, WinXP SP3.
    The way I got rid of it was by '''removing a file called secmod.db ''' in my firefox profile directory. Firefox recreated the file and the problem is gone.
    By default the profile directory on WinXP is C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\something.default
    I guess on Windows Vista and up, the folder is somewhere below c:\users. Doing a search for .default might help you find it. I think it is a hidden/system folder though, so you might want to turn their visibility on.
    Hope that helps

  • Yahoo does not display properly in firefox 31.0 but will show correctly in IE. How do I get this fixed?

    I have cleared cookies and cache, updated Firefox to 31.0 but it still keeps happening. I have even accessed my Yahoo email through the ATT site because I have an sbcglobal.net address. Nothing works. I can see my Yahoo email just fine through Internet Explorer but would prefer to do all of my internet related work via Firefox. I have no idea what to do.

    Try disabling McAfee and see what happens.
    I use Norton 360.

    Javascript is not the same as Java. Only the first four letters are the same and the syntax is somewhat simliar, but there is certainly nothing more the same.
    Try a Javascript forum. There are ones at webdeveloper.com and dynamicdrive.com. Good luck.

  • Content shifts in Firefox and Crome but works well in IE?

    I have read the earlier question on similar issue. None of those answers suited my problem. I am using a template to redesign my company webpage. It works pretty well in IE but in Firefox or Crome everything shifts to left.
    Please help as I am unable find the answer for this.

  • The web site of Adobe does not show correctly in FireFox

    I have a bizarre problem.  The site of Adobe (including where I can download the flash player) does not show correctly in FireFox and I only see it as a text HTML page, but without most images (typically, for instance, I do not see the image "Download now" but see a text line "Dowload now", and so on...
    This seems to specifically affect the Adobe web site as I have no problme for other web sites (so far).
    It is something specific to FireFox as  I do have the problem with Internet Explorer.
    The problem persis even if I restart FireFox without any add-on (safe mode).
    Any suggestion ?

    Does this only happen in Firefox?  What do you see with Internet Explorer or Chrome?  If it is only Firefox, I'd try these steps in this order:
    1. Clear your cookies and cache
    2. Reset your Firefox settings
    3. Make a new profile

  • Firefox does not fully load Barclaycard Authentication site. It loads as far as asking for certain letters in my pasword but does not load the "Submit" button so I cannot continue with my purchase and have to switch to IE8 browser to purchase anything ov

    Firefox does not fully load Barclaycard Authentication site. It loads as far as asking for certain letters in my pasword but does not load the "Submit" button so I cannot continue with my purchase and have to switch to IE8 browser to purchase anything over the internet. Any clues?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Couple of weeks ago

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is totally messed up by another program that you installed, and Barclays doesn't know you are using Firefox 3.6.6 - it probably looks like IE 6.0 to that website.
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',
    Then restart Firefox

    Sorry, I should distinguish between slow loading and manual reloading.
    I understood your problem to be that Firefox never finished loading the page, i.e., some part of the page was loading too slowly.
    By reloading, I meant Ctrl+r (or the reload button), to manually reload the page. You can disregard any cached files and reload all content fresh from the server by adding the Shift key, i.e., Ctrl+Shift+r (helpful when specific sites do not load correctly).
    If the page is automatically reloading itself over and over, that sounds like a completely different problem.
