Flash movie wont load in Netscape/Firefox

I created this page with frontpage 2003, and am in the process of testing it
out to check for issues, and already I have found one. I used flash to
create the top banner of the main page, and just like any other thread on
this forum, it loads fine in Explorer, but does not load in Netscape/Firefox.

Don't Netscape and FF require a plug in?

Steve,

I took the liberty to download the new LHFD website.
The hyperlinks to your .swf file don't exist.
They are broken.

I don't know what you used to create the Flash banner but it seems
that you exported just the html to your website and not the .swf file.
Both must be in your website files folder for the movie to show up in
all but IE. (IE will show it by default. Don't ask me why).
Your html is ok as is. Get your swf file into the website root
directory.
So, go back to your Flash editor; bring up your banner; use what ever
they require to export the swf file and look closely that you are
sending it to the root directory of your website.


If this is unclear, get back to me and I'll walk you thru it.

Update to last message.

I corrected the website to include the swf link.
Now tests fine in Firefox and Netscape.

Let me know and I'll post the code for you.

Few other problems noted:
Following websites are either offline or don't exist so they show as
broken links in your website.

Other than that, it looks great.
