    hey all,

    Have come across a small problem

    I have a .swf file on a website that i have added, i want it to link to another page, it works on most browsers except for firefox on the mac

    here is the code , as u can see i stuck the a href around the object , assuming this would work :S

    <a href="signup/" >
    					<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="430" height="200" id="Untitled-1" align="middle" wmode="transparent">
    					<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
    					<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
    					<param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
    					<param name="movie" value="images/banner.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />	<embed src="images/banner.swf" wmode="transparent" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="430" height="200" name="images/banner.swf" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

    a couple of obvious things I just wanna be sure of:

    Have you successfully accessed other flash contents in this same Firefox browser on that same mac? Hows does it render on Safari or Opera on that same mac?

    I run Shiretoko, a development version of Firefox, and if you had a link to the page I could check it on my mac, in Firefox, the latest WebKit, Safari and Opera no problem.

    I'm not an expert at embedding flash, the other thing I can think of that shouldn't matter but you never know - are you sure the filenames have no uppercase or lowercase where the link does? I know a linux server shouldn't serve the file because it's case-sensitive, but it's a good double-check to run just in case.

    It is entirely possible that their version of Firefox is simply broken and it would work on other macs. I wonder how it would fare in Firefox on linux on that same machine.....
