I have a flash header on my site, and it works fine in IE, however when you look at it in FF, it puts multiple headers on top of eachother, and there is no content portion.

check the problem out at www.itsyours4free.net/index-1.html

Let me know if you need more resources, to find a soultion to my problem.

Also, my aim is drownaf1sh if that helps you help me.

Thanks

Rare when FF doesn't work but IE does, but in this case you need start by embedding your flash properly. Did you realize that you have the file embedded about 30 times? That is the first problem, and the reason it works in IE properly is that you have IE conditional statements to hide other 29 <object> codes.

Delete all of your code related to the Flash (basically everything from line 15 to 729, thats 714 lines of repeated code...?), and follow the instructions on this thread.

Alright, thats strange that i had the code entered so many times..,.but I don't think I understand embedding it properly. Is there anyway you could use my source code on my site, and show me an updated source code to use, please. I will be forever thankful.

(im a super noob at this stuff)

If you read that thread, it gives you all of the instructions. Download the SWFObject file, link to it in the <head> of the HTML page, and then copy the code from the page and put your file names into it.

I have faith in you, just try it.

I'm a complete idiot at flash, ive looked at it for like an hour.. What if I gave you 5 dollars on paypal, if you use my source to give me the correct code?

The code is already written! You just have to change the filename!

I don't want money for something this trivial, if you are going to use Flash you should learn it. In fact this is not Flash, this is HTML and Javascript to get it embedded into the page.

Copy the Static Method code, change the filenames, and make sure you download the swfobject.js file from the link at the bottom. Thats it, and you don't have to understand all of the technicalities.

Are you talking about the position? Change the two places in that code where you see the height and width to the proper size of your flash movie. That will fix it.

See, its not too bad is it?
