Normally this is the other way around but not this time. I am getting an error when I try to open my swf file in firefox. This is the error i get: Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: [http://itbwebcreations.com/proofs/glns/glns.swf](http://itbwebcreations.com/proofs/glns/glns.swf) cannot load data from [http://www.itbwebcreations.com/\*\*\*\*/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*.php?stamp=1260983965](http://www.itbwebcreations.com/ ****/********.php?stamp=1260983965). at glns\_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() I get the same error no matter which of the internal pages i try to get to. Any ideas? -Kris ---

I found the hard way that putting wmode=transparent makes the player in firefox behave really weird, at least with as2. For example if your flash has wmode = transparent you won’t be able to write the “@” character on a text input in firefox.

It looks like it has to do with a cross domain policy, but they are on the same domain… in the same folder… ---

oh I see it… just put www in the first url the flash player thinks those are 2 different domains, or something. Maybe it has to do more with how the domain is configured on the server. ---
