All other flash shows up with firebird fine... but i go to www.team-jackals.com and the main logo in center is just a white block. Does anyone have any idea how i get this flash image to work? I have tested on IE and it works there.. but i know Mozilla can view it..

please help.

There's a bug in the page, the object element which IE uses points to the right address for the flash object but the embed element which other browsers will use points to a non-existent address:

Code: Select all

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="400" height="60">
          <param name="movie" value="themes/Virus/Flash/logo.swf">
          <param name="quality" value="high">
          <embed src="logo.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="60"></embed></object>

The code <embed src="logo.swf" should be <embed src="themes/Virus/Flash/logo.swf"

Firebird can not load an object element that is linked via ActiveX because it doesn't support ActiveX. So it has to fall back to the nested embed element, as you can see, the path given in the param (http://www.team-jackals.com/themes/Virus/Flash/logo.swf) does not match the one given in the embed (http://www.team-jackals.com/logo.swf), in fact the one in the embed 404s and so can't be loaded.
