Hi All, Firstly I want to say a big thank you because all of the thread keepers have managed to help me build my very first flash website for charity. Way cool. My only problem is that the website works great in explorer and safari but it shrinks it in Firefox. Can anyone help me with this? www.celebratesafely.com.au is the website. Cheers
Hey Maebesso,
I don't really know that embed code. It might be the Flash 8 default embed code, but I usually don't use it because it always gives me troubles.
You should use SWFObject to embed your flash. It'll get rid of a whole host of issues with embedding flash.
wow your index page looks like it has a lot of code in there that is messing things up in FireFox.
If you have DreamWeaver try embedding the swf file in there and the new version of DreamWeaver CS3 saves your pages with the automatic js code to pass the activeX control issues. But for now for this site try using this as your index page.
Save the SWFObject file Medyman was talking about and upload it to the directory your index.html and swf file are located.HTML Code:<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Celebrate Safely</title>
<style type="text/css">

body {
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
background-color: #000000;

Hope that helps.
ca anyone suggest any changes to code in an html file that shows a flash intro so that it actually displays in firefox, here is the code:
The site is here:Quote:

Many thanks for any help

Use SWFObject for a cross-browser javascript-based solution. I've linked to it in my last post in this thread.
Hi
Thanks but not sure what im doing wrong but nothing displays when testing here: http://www.mrstephen.co.uk/index_2.html
Code:<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "intro8_cs_b3.swf", "747", "100%", "797", "#412615");
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.addParam("salign", "t");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
You need a lot more than just THAT code to get the page to work.
You don't have any HTML markup on that page.
Have a look at the documentation for a full set of instructions.
OK Done that and firefox still displays the second part under "alternative content" and does not load the flash??
Did you include a link to the external .js file in your <head> section? Do you have javascript turned on?

It seems to display in firefox now as long as flash is installed BUT now i have a white area that hangs around till it changes colour to the brown far longer. Is there anything i can do about this?

Thank you
I'm not sure if that background is in the flash or not. If it is, there isn't anything you can do about it outside of Flash. If you have access to the .fla, you can simply remove whatever graphic/drawing is creating that color.
If it isn't in the Flash, you can pass a parameter to set either the background color to the brown or the wmode to transparent.

I am not a flash guru, but I get the white box in every browser, and it looks like it's part of the flash movie. (if you right click it you get the controls) Once the pre-loader script dwindles out, it seems to go away, so I would look into your pre-loader.
I think if change the background of your pre-loader/progess bar to transparent and I'll bet money it goes away.
