Issues with Firefox 3.6 & SWFObject 2.2


I've searched the net for a solution but still haven't found one yet.

I'm on Mac OSX and I use FlashBuilder. I try to publish a movie with the values of 100% for the width & the height. These are the values I use both in SWFObject and the CSS.

Flash doesn't display in Firefox but displays on Opera, Chrome & Safari. SWFObject test suite displays fine though! I've tried to replicate the test suite settings but it doesn't work :( The only way I can get the movie to display in Firefox is by setting the height value to a fixed pixel size in the flash content div, which defeats the purpose of using percentage values in the first place :)

I've tried most recommendations such as putting the script in the head tag as well as a few others but nothing works except setting a fixed height size in the CSS.

Help would be most appreciated! ;)


Solution

  • Finally found the answer!!! For some reason, In Firefox only ( not in Chrome, Opera or Safari , being on OSX, I haven't tried IE ) there's a conflict between Yahoo CSS grids and SWFObject.

    I'm using the Zend Framework , so here's the code I was using:

    <body>
    <div id="doc3">
        <?= $this->layout()->content; ?>
    </div>
    </body>
    

    Taking away the doc3 container div solved the problem, although the CSS settings for #doc3 were only a zero margin & padding
