Move won't play in Firefox [solution & question! thanx JP!]

[Cranio]

Hi,

I decided to start a new thread to post the solution to my previous
post [Issue with Firefox], 'coz I think it could be interesting for many
among you.
Hope this is not annoying, just tell me (poor newbie!) if it is.

My problem was a Movie that did play well in IE; but in Firefox the
Movie just stopped at the first (and only) frame and had no interaction
at all.

Many thanx to JP for his precious advice: as he pointed out, the Mozilla
plugin has problems in treating onLoad events.

For instance, my movie was a single-frame SWF menu (all the anims were
managed dinamically), where many important varables where init'd under
the onLoad code block.

I had to substitute the onLoad statement with straight in-frame coding,
and now all seems to work well.

Bye from Italy, hope my English's decent :) and thanks a lot!

It load ok from disk but from the web site it comes up with undefined.
This isn't very helpful. Strangely if I put the same files on another
page it works fine(same ISP server).

It works fine on my sons Firefox but not on mine but I have RSS, FTP
and a couple of other extensions loaded so I can only conclude this is
the problem

Yeah, I had some suspects... the SWF seemed to work fine till I
installed the most recent Firefox...

Hope this'll get fixed in the future, it's a pity... Firefox's such a
good browser...
