SWF not displaying properly in FireFox and IE 7 & 8

I am working on a site that is staging right now. I have a gallery page that displays a Flash .swf file. It loads properly in all browsers, except only about 1/3 of the viewer shows up on the page in FireFox and IE 7 & 8. It displays perfect in Safari and older versions of IE. Is anyone familar with this issue? Can someone offer any suggestions? Thanks in advace.

What version of Flash? What does the html page that holds the .swf look like? Can you share a URL where this file sits?

Animation not displaying properly in Firefox

My animation not displaying properly in Firefox. I have searched this forum and others but am only able to find outdated solutions (such as updating to the latest release of Animate). I am on the most current versions of Animate and Firefox and still having problems. Does anyone know of a solution to this, or can direct me to a discussion that already covers it?
An interesting thing to note is that only the center tree is acting differently, though the commands for each seem to be the same. Also the small mountains are fine, but not Mt Rainier.
Here is my test page:

Thanks!

In case anyone else runs into this issue, I was able to resolve it by rebuilding those portions of the animation.

TDF not displaying properly in Firefox 4

Hi, just an FYI to the TDF team...the web version is not displaying properly in Firefox 4.0.1. The main browser window (for lack of a better description) is slightly off-set maybe 10 - 15 pixels down and to the right. Because of this it covers up some of the TDF navigation tabs.

In case anyone else runs into this issue, I was able to resolve it by rebuilding those portions of the animation.

Wordpress theme not displaying properly in Firefox, but shows well in Safari and Chrome

Hi!
I have a Wordpress site that i'm using a custom theme with. Starting yesterday, my website's layout is shifted around and very distorted when viewing in Firefox, but it's perfectly fine in Chrome and Safari.
I tried deactivating the plugins, didn't help. I checked the site in multiple computers, same issue on all of them.
When checking on Windows PC, only Chrome displays the site properly, both firefox and IE are giving the "Exploit Black Hole" warning. I checked the site with URLVoid and VirusTotal, it came up clean.
Here's the link: http://selektorstyle.com
At this moment, i have no idea what to do, so any help is much appreciated!
Thank you.

Seems to be working fine here on Linux.
Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
If you are not on Windows then instead of "Tools > Options" use:
*Linux: "Edit > Preferences"
*Mac: "Firefox > Preferences"
*Windows: "Firefox > Options" or "Tools > Options"
<i>Press F10 if the menu bar is hidden on Windows and Linux</i>
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer(s).<br />

You can set an explicit width and height instead of a percent but I presume you want the flash object to be the size of the browser window specifying 100%. You also have noscale specified so I presume you're detecting the flash stage size and are dynamically laying out your content based on available space. Is that correct?
That said, you're using XHTML strict but you have some invalid code. In browsers like IE that can be enough to pop compatibility mode and it gets messy. For instance the "align" attribute is not supported so you should remove it.
Using 100% of the space is tricky. You have a scrollbar that can be invoked if you use 100%. Try 99% so the browser doesn't fire off a scrollbar just incase.
Your CSS probably isn't doing enough either. Use your web developer tools in your browser to take a look at your object. You're only clearing margins on the body tag. Try something more aggressive to remove ALL margins and padding like so:
*,html,body,object,div { margins:0; padding:0; }
Your object probably has some margins or padding pushing it off screen and you're only setting margins for the body tag itself. Also a small CSS note. Anytime you specify a value of 0 you don't need to specify px, like 0px. No matter your unit, em, px, etc, 0 is 0. That's why I didn't put 0px if you were wondering.
Also I specified 'div' in the CSS above. It may solve some of your problems to put your <object> inside a <div>.
e.g.:
<div style="width:99%; height:99%;">
    <object ............>
    </object>
</div>
Keep the <object> at 100% width and height if you place it inside that <div>. The browser is very good at dealing with <div>s and should have no problem keeping your content inside it resizing properly.

Upgrade to ver 1.6 pages not displayed properly in Firefox

Hi,
I upgraded HTML DB to Ver. 1.6 today. The installation was okay, did not raise any errors, but when I use Firefox to log on to HTML DB, the pages are not displayed properly. IE is able to resolve the pages correctly.
Do I need to get a plug-in for Firefox? Ver. 1.5 was working perfectly with Firefox.
TIA

My design view won't display properly in Mozilla or IE. The images show. The CSS (core and flow) are found according to the access logs. But it doesn't display nicely at all. This was an upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6. 1.5 looked fine. My old applications from 1.5 display properly.

CSS not displaying properly in Firefox

My new CSS layout looks beautiful in IE7 (weird), however, it
is not rendering properly in Firefox. I always do research before
posting here, but I'm completely helpless now. I'm very new to CSS,
this is my first page I've layed on using this language. Pretty
much none of the top margins are working, and my faux column image
isn't displaying. I'll attach the HTML and the CSS and see if
someone can point out what is wrong with Firefox.

I'm seeing problems in FF3, Safari 3.1, and IE6. Flash code
and missing alt
tags on images won't hurt you, but some of the other
validation errors could
be effecting your layout.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.colonybeachresort.com%2FCSS_T esting%2F
In addition, you've got problems with those png images and
alpha-transparency. They do not render well in IE6 without
some sort of png
fix JavaScript. Given that many people still use IE6, you
might want to
switch to jpgs for backgrounds.

OLE Objects are not displayed properly-overlap characters and empty page

I'm using CR4E 12 Runtime libraries to load and view reports that are created in CR designer v10. Some of the OLE Objects (not all) are not displayed properly.
1) A full page contains terms and conditions as ole object is not at all displayed and just shown as black image.
2) Some data in a table (OLE Object) shown as overlapped characters.
Any body know the reason and is there any workaround to solve this issue?
Thankyou very much for your time.

Your problem seems to be with the character encoding you are using for your text. A quick google search for ColdFusion character encoding should turn up the answer. In case you are interested in learning more:

Why Is Dreamweaver CS4 Tooltips Not Displaying Properly in Firefox?

Hello,
I used tooltips to provide answers to questions on my "Frequently Asked Questions" page (there are 19 questions).
In IE, the pop up displays in the default setting as each question is moused over.
However, in Firefox, the pop up window stays at the top of the screen. So by time you mouse over question 5, the top half of the pop up is at the top of the page and cannot been seen. As you go further down the page, the pop up cannot be seen at all because it stays at the top of the page.
I would really appreciate any advice on how to make the tooltips display properly in Firefox. Thanks, Theresa

Do I need to publish the site before these kind of problems can be resolved?
It's usually the quickest way to get an accurate answer.
You're describing page behaviour which doesn't have an obvious cause since it depends on your code syntax and structure. If we can see what's going on, we can probably isolate the issue.

Lion text problem: Some text does not display properly in Safari and Firefox

Hello
Some text in Safari and Firefox is seriously degraded, making it useless. I changed to Firefox because Safari was displaying wrongly, but Firefox displays the same way, so it seems to be an OS problem. See image as an example:
I cannot see subtitles on BBC streamed movies, and the timing of the movies on the bottom ribbon do not display correctly.
I am using Lion 10.7.5
Is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks for any help.

Unbelievable (and I still cannot believe that) - is wmode="transparent/opaque/etc" - not supported by safari ? then how do you suggest we go about transparent flash elements on web pages? why isn't it working on safari while on every other browser on earth it does?

Facebook Apps do not display properly in Firefox

Certain Facebook apps don't properly display in Firefox.
Some forms or articles (content) are cut off and don't diplay all fields or buttons or text,
not allowing completion and submission of forms or reading all of text.
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Firefox 8.0
These same Facebook pages display properly in Safari 5.1.1

That content is in a not scrollable iframe.<br />
The height of that frame is probably set via JavaScript to the correct height after that iframe has loaded and that didn't seem to have happened in your case and you only get the default height of about 600px.<br />
You can try to right click in that frame: This Frame > Open Frame in New Tab

Please help: my website does not display properly in firefox

(note) everything works fine clientside
I'm totally new here but I really really need help debugging
my website. The problem is I have a flash file the loads an xml
file to display pictures. Basicallly a gallery. It works in IE but
not Firefox and I can't understand why.
here is the offending pages
3dart Page |
Print Page
as you can see they display fine in IE. try in mozilla
firefox and the server just hangs. here is the actionscript from
the .fla:
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
xmlNode = this.firstChild;
image = [];
description = [];
total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
image
= xmlNode.childNodes.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
description
= xmlNode.childNodes.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
firstImage();
} else {
content = "file not loaded!";
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("freelance.xml");
listen = new Object();
listen.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
prevImage();
} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
nextImage();
Key.addListener(listen);
previous_btn.onRelease = function() {
prevImage();
next_btn.onRelease = function() {
nextImage();
p = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
filesize = picture.getBytesTotal();
loaded = picture.getBytesLoaded();
preloader._visible = true;
if (loaded != filesize) {
preloader.preload_bar._xscale = 100*loaded/filesize;
} else {
preloader._visible = false;
if (picture._alpha<100) {
picture._alpha += 10;
function nextImage() {
if (p<(total-1)) {
p++;
if (loaded == filesize) {
picture._alpha = 0;
picture.loadMovie(image[p], 1);
desc_txt.text = description[p];
picture_num();
function prevImage() {
if (p>0) {
p--;
picture._alpha = 0;

function picture_num() {
current_pos = p+1;
pos_txt.text = current_pos+" / "+total;
stop();
if anyone would help me debug this I would really appreciate
this, I'm not good with code. I'll give you the source files to
look at if need be, i'm desperate! thanks

Mail merge fields not displaying properly - Dollar signs and percentages

Hi folks,
I don't know much about mail merging, so I have a question. I have most things working on my merge, but need help with a couple of minor items (I hope). I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet that we use for merging to a Word 2010 document.
It has various fields such as name, address, city, etc. It also has a field for a dollar amount formatted to two decimal places and showing the $ sign in Excel (ex. $67,000.00), but when it gets merged into the Word document, it displays as 67000.
It doesn't pull the $ nor the decimal point and cents.
I also have the same thing with a percentage (Ex. 6.00%), displays in the Word document as .006.
I think I have everything else working, but can't figure out how to format these items in the Word document to display properly. Any advice?
Mike

If you insert the fields
{ MERGEFIELD Total_NB_Premium_away_from_Plan }
and
{ MERGEFIELD Total_Premium_of_Team_Sales_Target }
directly in your mail merge main document, outside an IF field, not nested in an { = } field, with no formatting switches, what results do you see?
Word will only apply a numeric format to things that it decides are numeric (broadly speaking, that includes numeric and currency amounts that it can recognise). It will leave anything else unformatted. So if you have something that looks a bit like a number
like "$-164,209.00", the chances are that Word will leave it exactly as it is.
When Word does not recognise something as being a number or a valid numeric expression, it will generally display one error or another when you try to put it in an { = } field. So, e.g.
{ =$-164,209.00 } would give you the syntax error that you are seeing. (Assuming "$" is set up as the currency symbol in your COntrol Panel's regional options. If the regional currency symbol was £, you would see a different syntax error.)
The problem in this case probably originates in something that has happened in Excel. Normally, things that are numeric/currency in Excel come through as things that Word treats as numeric. But if for example, someone has entered a number formatted as text
in a column that has texts rather than numbers above it, Word may receive something that it does not think is numeric. You may have to fix your sheet before Word will "see" the numbers correctly.
When you have got to the point where WOrd sees the numbers correctly, you should be able to use
{ MERGEFIELD
Total_NB_Premium_away_from_Plan} \#$,0.00 }
(and the negative numbering formats if you want) without nesting the { MERGEFIELD } inside an { = }
