Hey,

My Flash app doesn’t work in FireFox (but works in IE).

The problem I know is associated to loading external SWF and JPG files when using a BASE folder. Without the base folder it works fine. Here is some syntax I use:

[On Frame 1 of the base SWF, i.e. one frame before the preloader frame:]

…  
\_root.logo\_mc.loadMovie(“FlashFiles/Logo.jpg”, “GET”);

Note: This file never gets loaded into the BaseApp.swf. The object html tag looks something like this:

\<OBJECT…  
\<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=“[http://www](http://www)…/flashapp/FlashFiles/BaseApp.swf”\>  
\<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false\>  
\<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high\>  
\<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF\>  
\<PARAM NAME==“BASE” VALUE==“[http://www](http://www)…/flashapp/FlashFiles/”\>  
\<EMBED src=“[http://www](http://www)…/flashapp/FlashFiles/BaseApp.swf” menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH=“600” HEIGHT=“400” NAME=“BaseApp” ALIGN="  
TYPE=“application/x-shockwave-flash” PLUGINSPAGE=“[http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)” BASE=“[http://www](http://www)…/flashapp/FlashFiles/”\>\</EMBED\>\</OBJECT\>

What’s the easiest resolution to get it working in FireFox as well as IE?

Let me know if you need any other info, many thanks.
