Am trying to add a “video” to a webpage using a Dreamweaver extension called Active Slideshow Pro by DMXZone.  
The page can be viewed: [[COLOR=#0000ff]www.faith.org.uk/Testindex.html[/COLOR]](http://www.faith.org.uk/Testindex.html)  
In IE7 it works fine. The video shows and the dropdowns of the menu work correctly.  
In Mozilla Firefox, although the video works the dropdowns do not show.

If I remove the block of coding which is generated by the DMXZone extension:

\<object classid=“clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000” codebase="[[COLOR=#0000ff]http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0[/COLOR]](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0)" width=“514” height=“129” id=“testshow” align=“middle”\>  
\<param name=“FlashVars” value=“xmlFile=testshow.xml&preloaderBackColor=0x0099FF&preloaderBorderColor=0xCCCCCC” /\>  
\<param name=“movie” value=“slideshowpro.swf” /\>  
\<param name=“quality” value=“best” /\>  
\<param name=“scale” value=“noscale” /\>  
\<param name=“wmode” value=“transparent” /\>  
\<param name=“bgcolor” value="#000000" /\>  
\<embed src=“slideshowpro.swf” id=“testshow” wmode=“transparent” quality=“best” flashvars=“xmlFile=testshow.xml&preloaderBackColor=0x0099FF&preloaderBorderColor=0xCCCCCC” scale=“noscale” bgcolor="#000000" type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” width=“514” height=“129” pluginspage="[[COLOR=#0000ff]http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer[/COLOR]](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)" /\>  
\</object\>

The page works in both browsers and the menu dropdowns appear correctly.

I would be most grateful for anyone’s advice on this.
