FireFox users can’t see my Flash Videos

Dec 03.2007

Hello
I put up some Flash Videos on my site and you can see them good with Internet Explorer but my friends who use FireFox report they can’t see the video.

While I know some HTML from years ago and coded my own websites, I’m lost as to what’s going on. In fact I’m still using the old Aardvark Pro HTML Editor. Do I need to buy Dreamweaver? ugh! 😉 I’m not in love with Adobe lately for something they did!

Is it a coding issue or is it that they don’t have a Flash plug-in for FireFox.

Thanks for your help.

@Major_PayneDec 04.2007 — Unfortunately, FF needs to use the embed tags at times. I did drop this URL in the address window and it played ok in FF: http://www.nilvs.com/Shunjuan1_VP6_Sm.swf

@allenzauthorDec 04.2007 — Thanks Ron

I did find a code from the post above from TJ111 as well as 1 other and did another test. Supposedly those few who couldn't see it before now saw the video so I think I'm okay now. Here's the new coded vid...

@Major_PayneDec 04.2007 — I see you added the embed tag(s) which FF will use in your case. The </embed> tag is not needed. Might want to set BG to transparent.

@allenzauthorDec 21.2007 — Hi Ron

How would I set the background to transparent?

Thanks

@Major_PayneDec 21.2007 — For the object tag:
[CODE]<param name="wmode" value="transparent">[/CODE]

For the embed tag:
[CODE]wmode="transparent"[/CODE]

These should work.

@allenzauthorDec 22.2007 — ahhhhh Thanks much.

I assume nothing else should be on that page then except the flash player as everything but the player would then be transparent..

Happy Holidays

@Major_PayneDec 22.2007 — The transparent bg only affects the player's width/height area. Not the whole page.
