I have a simple menu swf with basic goto and stop actionscript.  
The swf is embedded in Html and there is some javascript in the head.

I have built a simple example online: [http://www.animatio.com/n1.html](http://www.animatio.com/n1.html)

It works fine in IE but not in my main browser Mozilla. (the playhead remains on the first menu item)

My question: what can be done to fix this.

For sake of low kb and easy maintainance my aim is to have just **[color=black]one[/color]** overall menu swf which can be embedded in several html pages _instead_ of having several swfs of the menu jumping to a specific frame and highlighting the current menu item.  
Completely other solutions are also welcome. (I don’t want te be using a frameset.)
