I was wondering if anyone might know why my Alert box doesn’t appear when viewing the .swf in firefox when I click on the button that evaluates the code responsible activating the Alert.show command. It appears when I open the .swf in the flash player and inside the ‘play movie’ command within Flash itself. Do I need to include some type of file in the relative directory?
