Hello,

I have a web site with two Macromedia Flash movies: www.landscapingwithstyle.on.ca 

When looking at the site in Mozilla Firebox, the movie on the first
page, index.htm, doesn't load. (Right clicking it says 'Movie not
Loaded.') However, the movie on index2.htm does load. This makes it a
problem probably with the code and not the browser. I'm told Mac users
experience the problem as well.

There are no problems viewing the site in Mircrsoft IE.

Thanks for you help, and please comment and let me know if this is
complicated and deserves a higher price.

The problem is indeed in your code.  The problem: a good old fashioned typo.

It looks like you named your flash file "brid2.swf"

Visiting http://www.landscapingwithstyle.on.ca/brid2.swf confirms this.

This is the name you used in your PARAM tags, which is why it is
loading fine in IE.  However, Mozilla looks at the EMBED tag, and
that's where you have your typo.

<EMBED src="bird2.swf" menu=false ... >

Changing "bird2.swf" to "brid2.swf" should solve your problem.

Of course, it is likely that you meant for the file to be called
"bird2.swf" and not "brid2.swf"  If this is the case, simply correct
the name in the PARAM tags after you've renamed the file.

This should solve you problems. :-)

As for deserving a higher price, you just got a freebie courtesy of an
unofficial researcher.

Cheers!
