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="movie" value="../flash/201.swf" />
      <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="quality" value="high" />
        <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>

        </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.

Flash videos choppy in IE8 but not Firefox?

I noticed when watching most Flash content in IE8 it has a lot of brief pauses which makes videos appear choppy, But if I open the same video in Firefox it plays fine, Is there anything I can check that might be causing this issue? Im running the same (latest) version of flash in both browsers.
Here's one example, If I play this in Firefox the framerate is smooth, but in IE8 it has random pauses throughout the video: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-modnation-racers/100079
Thanks.

Thanks! BTW I'm also having trouble updating Adobe Reader. I have 9.4.0 and want to update to the new Adobe Reader X. I keep getting Error 1402 which refers to the registry keys. I am unable to completely uninstall the old version. After receiving the error message it reloades the older version. I read about how to modify the registry to accept it but I believe this is a very wierd way to have to get an update loaded. Any suggestions?

Subject: Flash Player works in IE8 but not Safari
Hi Bruce, Adobe Flash Player is Installed separately into IE, since Windows uses the ActiveX Control. Firefox and other non-IE
browsers must use the plugin Installer.
This is the Adobe site :

Hope that explains it.

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.

Captivate 7 - Published file plays in HTML5 but not in SWF

I have a project that I've published in both SWF and HTML5. I'm assuming that the browser reads which version to play. The project will play on my iPad, but not on my computer using Chrome or IE. I have published other projects with no problem. What could cause this one not to work?

CFWindow 404 in IE8 but not Firefox

We are working on a new (but simple) 'help' system for our web site in which specific pages will have links to them that call /help.cfm#anchorName (where anchorName is the particular subject we want).
All it needs to work is this:
<cfset helpStr="/inleague/help.cfm" & chr(35) & arguments.helpset>
<cfwindow source="#helpStr#" height="600" width="750" initshow="false" name="helpWindow" x="100" y="225" />
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="javascript:ColdFusion.Window.show('helpWindow')">help for this page</a> :
Nothing fancy (that's kind of the point.) This works fine ... in Firefox! In IE8 we get a straight-up 404 File not Found in the CFWINDOW, and if we turn on cfdebug, we get this from the AJAX logger:
info:http: Replaced markup for element: helpWindow_body
error:http: Error retrieving markup for element helpWindow_body : Not Found
info:widget: Window shown, id: helpWindow
info:http: HTTP GET /inleague/help.cfm#events?_cf_containerId=helpWindow_body&_cf_nodebug=true&_cf_nocache=tr ue&_cf_clientid=6D7EABB8634520118E88EDEE8FA8E5FC&_cf_rc=0

info:widget: Creating window: helpWindow

In Firefox, the same AJAX debugger with the same code gives us this:
nfo:http: Replaced markup for element: helpWindow_body
info:widget: Window shown, id: helpWindow
info:http: HTTP GET /inleague/help.cfm#events?_cf_containerId=helpWindow_body&_cf_nodebug=true&_cf_nocache=tr ue&_cf_clientid=3B0BCF1685A7379DC13D809CFD83F32D&_cf_rc=0

I would've thought that this would be some kind of mapping issue, but we're not using any fancy mapping here, and a server-side mapping issue wouldn't work in Firefox but not IE8. I have a feeling this is something really dumb, but I can't figure it out. any tips?
Thanks,

HDV file plays in VLC but not Quicktime?

I have a 3 minute video, shot in 30fps HDV and exported to an HDV (1080i60) Quicktime File (.mov). The file plays great with VLC, but Quicktime tells me a component is missing. It plays the audio, but no video shows. Even if I download whatever component I need (I am not sure what I would need), this is for a client, and they would have to do the same thing, presumably. Could it have been something in my Compressor settings?

If you have FCP, you should have the HDV codecs. If you do an they won't play this, then it is possibly some other odd format. The non-standard image size points to something wacky going on.

Navigation works in IE but not Firefox or Safari!

Hi guys
Why do my nav links on the hompage work in IE but not in Firefox and Safari? http://www.jasonkieck.com/
Any help would be appreciated

The main reason is you have a <div id="bg_grid"> at the end of your html that is essentially over the top of everything else on your page, including your links. All clicks go to that <div> rather than your links undeneath it. I'm kind of surprised it works in IE to be honest.
You do also have a ton of errors as Gramps points out, but that particular issue is not technically an error, so I have a feeling you could fix the ~100 problems shown by the validator and still have the issue.
You could use z-index to "order the stack" as it were. Changing the z-index attributes for the css of those elements will allow you to change their order, regardless of their location in the html. A higher z-index number, the "closer" it is to the viewer (higher on the stack).
Right now, they are both set to 1, so the one that comes later in the html is on top.
Adding z-index:999 to the menu <div> should do it,

Timeline Slideshow appears in IE but not Firefox or Safari

I have created a looped slideshow displaying 4 photos every 3
seconds. I created a Timeline called 'slide' that is using:
<! <body onload="MM_timelinePlay('slide')">
<! <div id="slide"><img
src="images/tpl/10_Hpim0498.jpg" name="Image1" width="846"
height="134" /></div>
However, it appears Firefox and Safari do not know how to
handle the Slideshow transition from Image 10_hpim0489.jpg to the
next 3 jpg's.
http://www.desertphreak.com/tpl33.htm
What do I need to do to have Firefox and Safari interpret my
slideshow correctly?
Thanks in advance for any help!
~Desertphreak

The timeline code is quite antique (and slated for removal in
the next
version of DW). In its current state (written when NN4x was
an infant),
there are browser compatability issues. I would not recommend
you continue
with it.
You'd be much better off finding and using an image rotation
script on the
web - heck, CS3 even has one in its snippets you can use.
And if you want to go first class, check the
ImageGalleryMagic, or
SlideShowMagic extensions at PVII -

Printing multi invoices from ebay works in IE8 but not Firefox, tried all your help tips, still not working?

I sell things on ebay. I need to print out multi invoices from ebay. When I do this from Firefox the first page has my address but no customer info. It then prints out the second page OK.
So I have to then return to printing out invoices and check (tick) the ones it's missed. Checked printer page sizes etc, prints fine from other apps and pages.
I asked on ebay and someone said it's a FIREFOX problem, try it on IE8, -I did and it works ok. Please fix so I don't have to use IE8!

You have an invalid path reference. in one version of the object tag it reads ../../navbar.swf, in the other this is truncated to ../navbar.swf. Hence the browser can simply not find the file (IE and FF each look at differnt parts of the code).

FLV files plays in preview, but not showing up on my LMS

I have imported a single .flv file into Captivate 4, which was created in Flash 8. It shows in preview mode, as well as when I preview in IE browser, but when I launch from my LMS, I get nothing on the page. I can embed an .swf video file that was published out in Flash 8, and when I embed that into Captivate 4, it plays fine in preview mode and in my LMS. I have tried using different settings in Flash to render out the same video and nothing has worked. Any thoughts?

Jp,
Thanks for the info. I did check with Tech Support from the LMS, and they assured me that the LMS does support .flv files. However, our online modules are launched from a webserver separate from the LMS, and that server needed to have the proper MIME type configured. By default, Windows 2003 Server does not have an associated MIME type to support deploying FLVs.
Specifically, it needed to be set up to recognize .flv files with the correct file association and content type specified. That took care of it.
Thanks,

Web page with javascript login shows the login in IE8 but not Firefox 9

The web page http://epgservices.sky.com/nevermiss/ loads properly in Internet Explorer 8 and shows login details but these don't show when loaded in Firefox 9.0.1
The login is generated by Javascript as far as I can see. Java is enabled and is not being blocked by AdBlock Plus because I've turned it off to see if it made any difference but the login for this website does not show

Hi cor-el,
Thank you for your reply. Earlier in my attempts to solve this problem and before contacting Firefox Help, I did start Firefox in Safe Mode after clearing the cache and the cookies from sky.com but this made no difference. The login was still not showing.
Today after trying the website on my laptop running Firefox 9.0.1 and finding the login was loading correctly I decided to uninstall Firefox but keeping my original extensions etc., and re-install Firefox from a freshly downloaded install file. It is now displaying the login correctly on that web page. I think it may have been caused by lefy-overs from previous upgrades of Firefox and the re-install cured the problem. It's amazing what problems a fresh install will solve!
Thank you for your help

How to remove My Start Toolbar From, Firefox. I managed it on IE8 but not Firefox

Since installing Incredimail I have had the My Start Toolbar in both IE8 & Firefox4, I removed it from IE using Add/Remove programmes but it has not gone from Firefox 4 Any idears,??

After much research and not finding an answer that worked. I just went to Tools and under Options and the General Tab where it says Home Page I just changed it to Google and it worked like a charm. I also had uninstalled it from the control panel but it kept showing up on Firefox. So I just did the above and it worked.

Wma files play on Mac but not in iTunes?

Hi
I have a few .wma music files which play great in the Finder (the usual set of music controls in the preview window) and also in QuickTime, but I can't get them into iTunes where I want them.
Since the Mac has various ways it recognises and plays these files, it must be a simple matter to get them into iTunes, no? Trouble is, the (no doubt) obvious answer hasn't hit me yet!
(The long-winded way would be to output the music from QuickTime on the headphone socket of the Mac and record it on my hi-fi minidisc, then record it back to iTunes via Griffin iMic, but that seems like a sledgehammer to crack a nut, as well as losing something from two further sets of compression, WMA > ATRAC > AAC).
Anyone help?

The "long-winded way" isnt' necessary if you're willing to spend a bit of money. You can convert them with EasyWMA or with QuickTime Pro and the Flip4Mac import codec (not the free version) and so save a few steps and conversions.
