Flash text doesn't show up on Mozilla

Hello all. I'm a newbie to web pages and found this topic with my exact same problem:

[webmasterworld.com...]

The problem is that the information that Pixelkat said to add is already present in my code. Is it in the wrong place? The flash text on the bottom of my page shows up in IE but not Mozilla. Can anyone give me a tip as to what's wrong?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], Sunshy.

The first question to ask is, does Flash work anywhere else when using Mozilla? You may simply have the Flash plugin installed incorrectly or not at all.

Try going to macromedia.com and get the latest version of the plugin for Mozilla, and see if that fixes your problem.

Thank you and I'm sorry for posting the URL; I'll post the code instead. I should have also mentioned that flash DOES work in other places in Mozilla (and even on the same page as there is a flash logo there) so there must be something wrong with the code for the flash text links. Anyway, thanks for the reply and here is the code:

You probably want these two values to match:

<param name="movie" value="Buttons/Home.swf">
<embed src="Home.swf" ...

Right know, they are pointing to two separate files, which may be causing Netscape to choke?

You were right. Apparently it made no difference in IE, but it did in Netscape and Mozilla. Thanks so much to you both for all your input. I've been trying to get this licked forever!
