Web Page created in Expression doesnt show flash in FIREFOX

Postby yourdreamforever » Sat 11 Apr, 2009 3:53 am

Hi guys have created a web page using MS Expression and it shows the flash content great in Explorer but does not show in Firefox or google chrome.

I have downloaded the flash players for my PC but it doesnt show live on the web.

My code on web page is

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=400 style="float: left">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Your Dream Forever.swf">
<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false>
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=opaque>
<PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=noscale>
<EMBED src=Your Dream Forever.swf menu=false quality=high wmode=opaque
scale=noscale WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=400 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>


AND SECOND PAGE


<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
WIDTH=441 style="height: 288px">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="ad.swf">
<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false>
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent>
<PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=noscale>
<EMBED src=ad.swf menu=false quality=high wmode=transparent
scale=noscale WIDTH=441 HEIGHT=287 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>


The web page is http://www.yourdreamforever.com/default.htm

and

http://www.yourdreamforever.com/adventure.htm


Any help large or small would be appreciated :)

I had a look at your site using Firefox's DOM Inspector add-on and found a problem on this line of the first page:
[tt]<EMBED src=Your Dream Forever.swf menu=false quality=high wmode=opaque
scale=noscale WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=400 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"> [/tt]

Firefox is picking up the value of the [tt]src[/tt] attribute as "Your", rather than "Your Dream Forever.swf", most likely because it's not surrounded by quotes. Try adding them, and see if that works.

Ideally, in HTML, every value of an attribute should be surrounded by quotes to ensure compatibility. Different browsers have varying degrees of mistake-fixing to mitigate this.
