On my website I am using PHP-Nuke, and the flash movies at the top of my page will not show in Firefox. It does work with IE, in Firefox they show up as white blank spots. Here is the code for the header:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>header</TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</HEAD>

As far as I know, the "data" parameter should point to the actual swf file - the plugin download link would be the "codebase" parameter.

Shouldn't the embed tag have this for the source:

themes/Slambot/images/logo1.swf

... instead of this:

logo1.swf

Strange, I changed the embed on the second image to:

<embed src="themes/Slambot/images/logo2.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="330" height="132" name="logo2" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>

And now it works fine with Firefox and IE, but the first flash object on the left still only shows in IE? It is currently:

<embed src="themes/Slambot/images/logo1.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="318" height="118" name="logo1" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>

Thanks for any help!
