Default Flash not running in Mozilla

Hi,
A few days ago I installed a Flash Movie (SWF file created with Swish) on some of my Web Pages. I tested everything in my regular browser (Internet Explorer) and everything was fine.

Yesterday I accessed the pages with the Mozilla Browser (that lots of people is starting to use for security reasons) and noticed that the Flash is no where to be seen, or clicked or nothing.

The page is: http://www.housingadviser.com/Atlanta/

I will appreciate if you can take a look at it and its source and let me know if is our mistake, or probably is a known issue in Mozilla.

Thanks in advance.

Default Check file paths to Flash source file

I think there may be a problem relating to the path to the .swf file. There are two different sources in the <object> tag.

The Flash displays perfectly well (in IE and Firefox) at the absolute address, which is http://www.giasinc.net/forms/flash/homegain.swf

I think Paul has got onto the right track. In the output for swish there should be some publish settings that will denote to which version of Flash player the movie is to play in. The <object> will vary according to this and your browser may prompt to update if online. It may have been a better idea to post in the flash forum. I certainly no expert with flash and have only a handful of hours exp with MX Pro. Hope this helps.

Also worth checking is if Flash player is even installed for Moz at all. When you get the download it does aim for your default browser. I would try installing again and check what you click on the install wizards. Same applies for shockwave.

This is what you need:
Flash Player for Mozilla, netscape, opera Macromedia download

It used to drive me nuts getting flash to work in FireFox. This downloads to your desktop, click it, and it takes seconds. That's all, then flash works.
