Firefox Trobleshooting! Cant see a script

[rapco 0]

I have a website with a swf obejct in it, i see it in internet explorer, but not in firefox!!!!

the script is the following:

<div><center><object width="550" height="420" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,42,0" id="pentacargo"><param name="movie" value="pentacargo.swf" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain" /></object></center></div>

What can i do to it so firefoz user may see it..?????????

It would be easier to actually see the site and what doctype is being used on it, as Firefox is tightly tied into W3C standards and if whatever is being used is not part of that doctype, expect it not to show it correctly.

Other than that, I would probably clean it up and probably make sure you've got shockwave or flash installed for Firefox.

<div align="center"><object width="550" height="420" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#5,0,42,0"  id="pentacargo" name="pentacargo"><param id="movie" name="movie" value="pentacargo.swf" /><param id="bgcolor" name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param id="quality" name="quality" value="high" /><param id="allowscriptaccess" name="allowscriptaccess" value="samedomain" /></object></div>

It would be good to see the link to the site though, to see what could be the real case to it.

Cheers,

When using frefox to view your site, if there's a message there goes something like this: "Addtional plugins are required to view all media on this page" at the top of your firefox, then you know for sure that you haven't got the necessary flash or shockwave player installed for firefox.

Ok, i've got the plug-ins installed, i can see flash in other sites, like Xisto.com an others.. so it's not the pul-gin

 

The link to the website is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ it should be seen above the "INICIO" title...

 

Hope u can heklp me out, thanks for the posts!!!

 

i have solved my problem, don't ask me how... the only thing i did was change the code to:

 

<object width="550" height="420" id="pentacargo" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,42,0" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">  <param value="pentacargo.swf" name="movie" />  <param value="#FFFFFF" name="bgcolor" />  <param value="high" name="quality" />  <param value="samedomain" name="allowscriptaccess" />  <embed width="550" height="420" allowscriptaccess="samedomain" swliveconnect="true" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" src="pentacargo.swf" name="pentacargo" pluginspage="http://http://www.adobe.com/special/errorpages/404.html; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /></object>

Install shockwave or flash for Firefox?? Isn't that impossible?

Install shockwave or flash for Firefox?? Isn't that impossible?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I have FireFox, it works sweetly with Shockwave and Flash

 

This may answer a few questions

Basically all you do is install the Flash Player after you downloaded the installer When you install I believe it doesn't list FireFox as Browser though, but you can select Netscape (FireFox and Netscape run on the same Gecko engine if I am not mistaken). The main thing to remember is to make sure to select the FireFox Plugins folder which normally is under default user I believe. (I am so going by memory here) I hope this helped at least a little bit
