Photo Stack swf works in IE but not Firefox

Would anyone know why the photo stack flash gallery won't work in Firefox? IE works fine. I'm fairly sure its just a bit of syntax i'm missing, or a compatibility issue.
I am using a .swf file which imports images in using an xm
l file and then displays them as a stack of photos which can then be rotated and looked through.
This is the code i'm using to embed it on the page.
=====================
<object id="flashmovie" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/menu_items/gallery_swf/gallery.swf" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" >
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="/menu_items/gallery_swf/gallery.swf" />
<param name="FLASHVARS" value="path=/san/www/somewhere.com/htdocs/home/ProspectiveStudents/InternationalStudents/ afolder/afolderphotos/">
<embed src="/menu_items/gallery_swf/gallery.swf" width="550" height="400" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
</object>
=======================
And this is the Actionscript code within the swf, as I think it may be causing the issue
================
MovieClip.prototype.addProperty("onLoad", function () {
return __onLoadHandler__[this];
}, function (f) {
if (__onLoadHandler__ == undefined) {
_global.__onLoadHandler__ = {};
__onLoadHandler__[this] = f;
Math.easeInQuad = function(t, b, c, d) {
return c*(t /= d)*t+b;
Math.easeOutQuad = function(t, b, c, d) {
return -c*(t /= d)*(t-2)+b;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
myXML = new XML();
myXML.ignoreWhite = true;
myXML.onLoad = function() {
nodes = myXML.childNodes;
// find first image
if (topimage.length) {
for (var i = 0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
   if (nodes[i].attributes.src == topimage) {
    var insert = nodes.slice(0, i);
    nodes.splice(0, i);
    nodes = nodes.concat(insert);
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
if (_url.indexOf("http")>-1) {
myXML.load("http://somewhere.com/menu_items/gallery_swf/gallery.php?querystring=" + path);
} else {
myXML.load("gallery.xml");
stop();
===========================
I export it as Flashplayer ver 6, and actionscript ver 1.0. Changing versions didn't make it work.

It works in IE but not Firefox... I can't figure out why... can you help me and see what I have done wrong?
Eternally grateful,

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.

Medical app from Intuit works in IE, but not Firefox.

Encrypted medical app works in new IE, but not Firefox. Everything works down to the end, and click on "continue" and nothing happens. A tech and I have spent hours on this. Did not work on FF5 or 6. Did not work on old IE, but did on fresh new version with no data files copied in.

If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.
To start, page is missing DOCTYPE declaration... a MAJOR problem. The DOCTYPE declares which set of rules the browser will use to display the page. Without it, different browsers go crazy or do not work at all.

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,

My website works in IE but not firefox

this is my web page:
http://www.andrew-leonard.co.uk/Mallorca/mallorca%20ferns.htm
It usess css to define layers and javascript to show and hide the layers. It uses a dhtml menu system by Milonic to execute the javascript
This is part of the code for the layers:
<pre><nowiki><style type="text/css">
#Layer01 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:1;}
#Layer33 {position: absolute; left: 300px; top: 50px; z-index:33;}
</style></nowiki></pre>
This is part of the javascript to show/hide the layers:
<pre><nowiki><script>
function showlayer(layer){
var myLayer = document.getElementById(layer).style.display;
if(myLayer=="none"){
document.getElementById(layer).style.display="block";
} else {
document.getElementById(layer).style.display="none";
</script></nowiki></pre>
It works OK in IE but not firefox

If you check Firefox's Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K) it'll tell you any errors it's finding and the line of code it's finding it on.
The problem it seems to be having up front is that IDs are case-sensitive - "layer02" is not the same as "Layer02", for example.
There may be further errors once it's past that, but all the current browsers come with the tools you need to weed out any further issues.

Spry menubar works in IE, but not Firefox

I added a very simple Spry horizontal menubar to the top of all pages in my web (I'm using DWCS4 and Spry 1.6). When I preview it in Firefox locally, it seems to work, but when it is uploaded to the web server it works in IE, but not in Firefox. Instead of a menubar, I see a stack of bulleted hyperlinks. In IE, it displays properly.
Website is http://www.stevegoldman.com.
How can I fix this problem so that it works with all browsers properly?

I just tested your site with firefox (latest version) and it works just fine. I also tested it in IE: 7.0 and it worked fine for that too. Looks like you have either fixed the problem or you have a different version of firefox than me or something.

When I loginto a certain web site it just keeps going back to the login page. It works on IE but not Firefox. There is some setting I must have that is stopping the logon.

their login page does not recognize my entry. Just keeps going back to page and says logon. It does work on Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

Works in IE but not FireFox?

when i hosted it on a different server it worked in both browsers, now i changed to a different free host because of the mp3 file i have with the site, and some sites will not host mp3 and it only works with IE
can anyone help me out?

Flash on my site working in IE but not firefox?

Uploaded new update to my site last night, but I cannot seem to get the swf files to play or even show up in firefox. I have not checked with any other browsers, but it works fine in IE(not sure of version). Also, it displayed correct when I was previewing it from my local machine in firefox, just not after I had uploaded it to my server, and I cannot figure out why. JS turned on, checked everything that I can. Here is my site:
http://skylerloans.com/
If it is or is not working for you, could you please let me know, and what browser you are using? I would like to get it up asap, as I am also going to upload a guestbook soon, I just want to make sure it will display!
Thank you for your time,
Skyler

Thank you for the response. The swf are a poll on my website, and a clock. Try using IE, I bet they show up and you can view them!
I am using dreamweaver. I go to insert>media>flash and then select my swf file from my root. All my files that go along with the swf are uploaded, and it works fine when I preview from my local machine!
Here is a snippet of code concerning the swf in my source:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="600" height="410" title="loans">
      <param name="movie" value="preview.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <embed src="preview.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="410"></embed>
    </object>
And again, it works like a charm in Internet Explorer, I cannot figure this out.
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!

Now I'm stuck again - flash overlay navbar works in IE but not Firefox

>_< I spoke too soon on my "success". My flash navbar and flash slideshow is showing up in IE but it's not loading in Firefox. Can someone please check on their firefox to see if it's loading? I've updated all flash plugins and firefox versions but it's not loading.
Here's the link: http://www.butterflyphotography.ca/Portfolio/Glamorize/glamorize.html
I've already tried changing the various wmode settings and it doesn't do anything in Firefox. With wmode = transparent for the navbar, and wmode = opaque for the slideshow, I do get what I want in IE, but not in Firefox. However, I have another page that doesn't have the slideshow (loader.swf) file and the navbar loads perfectly in Firefox.
Is it the object tags for embedding the files correct? I thought it should be correct since I got it from the google support site. >_< I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks again. And thank you for your patience.

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).
