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" /> </object></a> Code (markup): any ideas? thanks alot
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.....
