Reporter: I presume you are referring to musicbutton.swf -- if I attempt to
display the swf from the URL, using the document location:
http://www.geocities.com/ruthlessdacker

it is an incorrect path. It looks like you need to provide an absolute path in
the  src attribute to the location of the swf.

Ok, then can you provide me with the absolute URL for the page that has the
problem, not a framed page like http://www.nto.vze.com

When I go to http://www.nto.vze.com - am I supposed to select an option off that
page or is it on one of the two pages within that framset?

This is the only object/embed tag combination that I can find:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0"
 WIDTH=795 HEIGHT=150>
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="ntobanner.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <param
NAME="wmode" Value="Transparent">  <EMBED src="musicbutton.swf" quality=high
bgcolor=#000000  WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=100 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

The object points to ntobanner.swf and the embed points to musicbutton.swf. I
found this on the http://www.geocities.com/ruthlessdacker/framesetter.html page.

Attachment: dont dl

so mozilla doesnt support pages with that framesetter or something?

Comment 8

[TheGreatOne]

is this a bug or a problem on my end?

Comment 9

[rubydoo123]

whatever you are trying to attach, never comes across, so I can't check it --
can you give me the absolute URL of the page that the swf file is referenced on

Comment 10

[TheGreatOne]

i was just adding an attachment so i could reply but now i found how to reply
without an attachment and the url for the banner i think is:
http://www.geocities.com/ruthlessdacker/ntobanner.swf

Comment 11

[rubydoo123]

Correct, the URL for the swf file is:
http://www.geocities.com/ruthlessdacker/ntobanner.swf

That should be the content for the embed element src attribute. If you would
change that attribute value, it should work for you.

Comment 12

[TheGreatOne]

well i dont know how to change the attribute value casue im not too bright and
the guy who made it for me doesnt know how to change it either.

Ok, so when you signed up for an account at geocities, you had to provide a
login and password. They also gave you directions on how to manage your website.
Login and go to the manage your website area. Select to edit this page:
http://www.geocities.com/ruthlessdacker/framesetter.html

In that page, search for <embed, once you find that, look for the src attribute
and delete what is there (src="musicbutton.swf") and add this instead:
src="http://www.geocities.com/ruthlessdacker/ntobanner.swf"

Save the changes, repost it to your site and it should be fine

this is how the www.geocities.com/ruthlessdacker/framesetter.html looks like:

html>
<head>
<title>NTO Clan Site: Created By |NTO|TheGreatOne-Ldr-</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="165,*"border="0">
	<frame src="banner.html" name="banner" border="0" 
	leftmargin="0"
	marginwidth="0"
	topmargin="0" 
	marginheight="-5">
	<frame src="home.html" name="bottom" border="0">
</frameset>



</html>

This work in a recent nightly, marking WFM.

Reporter: Be sure to try a fresh build. Also make sure you have Flash 6
installed (npswf32.dll shows up in about:plugins). Make sure you havn't
installed the Active-X plugin.
