My flash app plays differently cross browsers. I switched from swfObject v2, to adobe’s embed method(ac\_runactivecontent.js), and that seems to have helped. However, still having an issue in FF on a mac- where everything works good on first load, but when returning to the page after first load, some objects do not appear. Does this sound like a garbage collection issue? Logically it seems like a browser cache issue, but I have a preloader working, and I’m pretty sure the sequence of events is handled appropriately.

thanks.
