I have a script that works with flash and php

It works fine as far as I can tell, have uploaded it to many different websites no issues

This one site today however is causing me some grief..

The script loads fine and installed correctly, opend it in IE and it all displays just fine, however when opening the page in firefox the flash is wrong

The flash script is coded to pull some values from an xml file, this file contains the value stating the location of an image to pull into the flash and use as the background of the flash

In IE this displays fine but in firefox it does not

I cannot for the life of me figure out why this one isnt working

It works 100% perfectly on every other site it has been installed on, just this one website

What could potentially be causing such a display error, and why only in firefox and why only this one particular site, the exact same script has been installed on several sites and all work fine except this one

Any advice at all would be helpful

You can see a test displaying the flash on the above link, it looks fine in IE but not in firefox

seems to work fine for me in FF, my guess is you're have a caching issue going on.

Don't know the answer to the problem but here's a couple of observations:
Background shows for me on Vista in IE8 and Chrome but not in FF3.6.1 or Safari 4.0.5.
So it's not just a FF thing. If it works in IE but not FF, then there is usually a real problem. My GUESS is that it has something to do with the way the flashVars are being processed... error in the xml... punctuation, pathing, spelling (upper/lower case). While testing in FF and Firebug, this is the status message after most of the page has loaded but not the background:
Waiting for diyfundraising.com
The rest of the page is just not loading.
So a couple of things you might want to check; if the code was working on other sites, test them in Safari to verify. If it's just this site, then it's most likely the stuff you had to change to make it work on this site... the .xml file.
Redo from scratch, test with another, working .xml file, re-edit, etc.
Best of luck to ya!
