This is the craziest thing. I recently added several 'supposedly
foolproof' flash music players ( form http://www.premiumbeat.com ) to a
page I've done to promote my music, at http://pixyland.org/mymusic.html.
If you look there, I put a simple example involving minimal scripting
near the top of the put a very simple example right near the top of the
page, and if you click the play button, a music sample will play. That
is, except in Firefox, and only on XP! I have mozilla (2.0.) on both my
older Win-98SE and newer XP-pro machine, and the same flash version (9).
With the Win-98 OS, and either IE or Firefox, the music plays. In IE on
XP-pro, the music plays. But Firefox on XP-pro? The player just displays
an icon indicating it's trying to access the music file, and endlessly
spins.
I've included my coding below, but I don't expect anyone to troubleshoot
the script for me. Even someone at premiumbeat.com said I was doing that
exactly right. So I'm really in the dark here. If nothing else, could
someone please verify whether they see the same problem?
To make matters even stranger, this only happens on MY website! Meaning,
the examples at premiumbeat work on their page! I don't know. Since the
file access strings are being passed to a javascript, I suppose it's
possible that there's something wrong with the way I'm passing path/file
strings, that other versions don't have a problem with. Or, maybe
there's some odd issue with the players own internal scripting (JS file)
that doesn't properly detect Firefox on XP. Still another possibility is
some weird interaction between internal browser variables and my hosting
comany's .HTACCESS file (for hot link protection). There are just too
many possibilities and few clues, so I'm totally perplexed. Has anyone
else has run across this issue that can can explain what might be the
culprit!
Thanks for any help!Again, though it's probably irrelevant, here's my
code to involk a player.
<div id="autoSong"> </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("mp3/bin/playerMini.swf", "mymovie", "75",
"30", "7", "#000000");
so.addVariable("autoPlay", "no");
so.addVariable("soundPath", "mp3/cd/TinkTinkSample.mp3"); //
+myCD[sampleSong]);
so.addVariable("playerSkin","2");
so.addVariable("overColor","#008888");
so.write("autoSong");
</script>
