I still believe the issue is within your swf and not with SWFObject or wmode.
I can reproduce that the player does not load correctly in both IE and FF. If you look at the trace messages from flash player when it doesn't work (grey background or still image is there, but no controls): loading still : http://www.popmorphic.com/images/stills/AttackAttackHomeAgainStill.jpg videoStateChanged : loadingControls was disconnected videoUrl = http://www.popmorphic.com/AttackAttackHomeAgainWeb video added to stage videoStateChanged : connectionError was loadingControls stillLoaded : [Event type="complete" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2] When it works you get extra trace messages saying XML was successfully loaded etc. I have now reloaded about 12 times and unfortunately it only worked once and I didn't copy down the trace messages. I'd suggest you go back and debug your player, because something is clearly broken there. You should make your page as simple as possible (no transparency, no other js files etc) and get things working. From there you can re-build your page.... BTW, you still have a 404 on this file: http://demo.popmorphiclive.com/sites/all/scripts/scrollTo/jquery.scrollTo.js Aran -----Original Message----- From: swfobject@googlegroups.com [mailto:swfobj...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Julian K Sent: Tuesday, 24 March 2009 10:36 PM To: SWFObject Subject: Re: Transparency not working in FF3 with SWFObject 2.1 I was just testing the swf here, not its external content as I was trying to isolate the issue, but I think rather than narrowing down the problem I think I have made them more muddy. This is the actual demo site http://demo.popmo<antispam>rphiclive.com/artists/attack-attack, which is intermitantly not working in FireFox. Here there should be no missing content and as far as I am aware the server should, I hope be set up properly. Could you tell me if there is anything wrong with the way this has been embedded or the sever set up which may be causing the issue.
