make video player skin/status bar/ controls bar disappear in FireFox

[ofiri14]

This problem is related to FireFox. In All other browser it works properly. I am using the following code: (All browser shows the movie without any controls but FireFox);

<object classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" type="application/x-oleobject" width="225" height="207" hspace="4"
standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." id="MediaPlayer">
<param name="FileName" value="http://apartment-rental-nyc.com/ArFlashFront.swf">
<param name="ShowControls" value="false">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<param name="ShowDisplay" value="false">
<param name="autostart" value="true">
<param name="loop" value="true">

<embed src="http://www.apartment-rental-nyc.com/ArFlashFront.swf"
width="225" height="207" hspace="4" autostart="1" loop="1" type="application/x-mplayer2" showcontrols="0" showstatusbar="0" showdisplay="0">
</embed> </object>

thanks

My Firefox shows the movie without controls. Actually a swf file does not have player controls on it by default. Either you put the controls on the file during creation, or your wrap some javascript around it to put controls on it for you, or I believe a flash server can do that for you too.

As for your code, you have extra values that are enabled by default. And your height and width are not correct for what your flash is. Streamlined code is below (minus the correction to your height and width and plus some bgcolor).

Firefox uses the embed tag only (just FYI).

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">

I would look into how to make your own movie player in flash ... takes about 2 hours and after that you are all set to make them with or without sliders, volume, controls or you can brand as you see fit.
