Flash movie not loading in firefox

SuaveRick · May 31, 2005

Hey there,
I'm just learning flash and have some little animations for my site. In IE they work fine, in Firefox they don't even load. I did some reading and they talked about maybe I'm missing the embed tag or the parm tag but they are both in there... anyone run accross this?

Here is my code (basically just copied and pasted from the published HTML from flash):
<html>
<body>
<table align="right" background="display_left.jpg" width=19 border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="100%"><tr><td></td></tr></table>
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"

width="100%" height="100%" id="left_menu" align="left">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
<param name="movie" value="left_menu.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="salign" value="lt">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
<embed src="left_menu.swf" quality="high" salign="lt" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="100%" height="100%" name="left_menu" align="left" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="

</object>
</body>
</html>

Thanks!

yah, turns out it was the way firefox displays the table. It put the flash image below the table instead of beside it like IE.

Thanks for the read though
