I use Firefox almost exclusively and do not have problems with
accessing the stuff I do in Flex.
If Internet Explorer (on the same machine as yur Firefox install) can
access your Flex app and correctly display the SWF generated from the
MXML file, your *server* setup should be correct. Thus, your problem
is almost certain to be a configuration setting at the browser end.
(There's a few intermediate possibilities like a firewall filtering on
User-Agent type, etc, but the technical challenge to set these up is
probably beyond what you'd normally encounter, so ignore for now).
A common problem that I've seen with Firefox is that it's *too easy*
to install Extensions, with "Flash-blockers" and "pop-up-blockers"
being common. These might result in the blank screen you emailed
about earlier. It shouldn't be a problem if you downloaded firefox
from the official www.getfiorefox.com site, but I know of at least one
site which redistributes a modified version of Firefox with a Flash
blocker preinstalled. In Firefox, go to Tools > Extensions and
Uninstall anything that might be the culprit. Alternatively, uninstall
Firefox and try again :)
If this doesn't fix your problem, you'll need to provide much more
detailed information to the list to get a reasonable response.
Otherwise we're just guessing.
