I am having a problem with flash in firefox 7. I am not sure this is the right forum, but someone can move it if they see fit. Anyway, say I write some embed code like this:

<html>
    <body>
     
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
     
    codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/
    cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
     
    width="800" height="600"
    id="mymoviename">
     
    <param name="movie"
     
    value="Adv1.swf" />
     
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
     
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
     
    <embed src="Adv1.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
     
    width="800" height="600"
     
    name="mymoviename" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
     
    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
     
     
    </embed>
    </object>
    </body>
    </html>

If I have a folder with this file and a file Adv1.swf, when I open the html in firefox, the flash shows. However, when these two files (index.html and Adv1.swf) are uploaded to a server, it does not work in firefox, but does in opera and IE. Please help me. I have been looking for a solution for about 8 hours.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I F***** DID IT!!!!

It's the f***** name. I just renamed the file AdvOne instead of Adv1 and it works. WOW! If that's a bug in firefox, then I am going to kill them.

Wow this is really weird. I can even name the file Xyz1, but not Adv1. I am really confused as to why it doesn't work with Adv in the name. Anyone know?

You should have posted this in the "Web Development > Web Design > HTML/CSS" Forum. Also Mark as Solved.
