I have a flash slideshow and it works in IE, chrome and safari but not firefox. Everytime in firefox it says i need to get the latest flash player which i have and even tried to download when i told me too. It happens not only on my pc but many others. The website is www.4everdeck.co.za
Any help why this would happen would be great
Thanks

the problem is with the latest ( v10 ) of flash, it breaks plenty flash applications at present and is the main version why I have stopped using flash for the time being.

Have you thought of alternatives to create slideshows for example mootools?

the links above should get you started on flashless slideshows :)

below is a link to completly remove flash from firefox and then do a clean install

hope this is usefull

I would still suggest giving mootools a go, since flash always give problems lately

ps i cannot see any flash other than by looking in the source, so if it is critical to your business I would not put it in flash, and if it is only for decoration ... do you really need it?

the code from the last flash i used
www.sgtcompany.co.za

p.s I used the fullview domain for property afterwards ;)

<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">

FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this).
