@Aran
Hi Aran,
Thanks for the tips. I have implemented your steps and w ehave run
numerous tests now and it has now come down to either a DNN-SWFObject
loading multiple swf files on a page or a Firefox bug.
Here's the outcome we need:
Two swf files on one page:
* 1. Header.swf: which holds the nav and some bling animation.
* 2. Map.swf: which has different provinces of the country
highlighted on rollover. The active province is highlighted by
reading the URL via Javascript and then loaded into the Map.swf
via FlashVars.
In all of our other tests in other browsers, the scenario works very
well but in Firefox 3.5.3 The swf files refuse to show.
We have stripped this test down to the bare minimum, one html page
scenario and embedding it the same way using SWFObject 2.2 and this
works in Firefox. When it is uploaded in DNN, the swf files refuse to show.
Could it be that there is a clash of scripts somewhere? And if so, what
are the possible steps I can take to debug this?
Many thanks,
James
