Flash working in IE, but not firefox etc

flash working in IE not firefox

[spohome]

There is an older topic on this but is to old to reopen and I still need help. I just had a flash calculator made and am loading onto my site. It says in the other topic (http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum104/406.htm) that I can remove code to make it work, but I am a newbie when it comes to this. here is the code
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="600" height="450">
<param name="movie" value="poker_calculator_flash.swf">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<embed src="poker_calculator_flash.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="600" height="450"></object>

can someone please help me, I am not sure what to take out so that it shows to all browsers

unless your trying to validate it under W3C standards why remove anything? If you are google flash satay.

well the problem is, my visitors are saying it wont load in their mac browsers, although some say they use firefox and it works? I am just trying to make it so everyone can view

[Richard_N]

I presume everyone actually has flash installed on their machine?

hers a standard DreamWeaver flash insert which we have never had any problems with (apart fron validation)

I am stil hearing from people that its not working in FF 1.5 windows xp, and other comps. Any help would be great

[Richard_N]

As I said it sound slike these people either do not have flash or have an outdated version of flash player

Hi Richard.
I'm a member of the Macromedia (now Adobe) Director forums.

There is an article about FireFox having trouble with Flash and Shockwave:
[weblogs.macromedia.com...]

This may explain a little.

having trouble with shockwave from a quick look its a different player, may be wrong as did not read it fully.

using shockwave to deliver web content just seems wrong to me anyway.
