I created it in Adobe GoLive with flash files embedded. the home button rollover disappears and the links don't go to the pages that they should go to.

Yes, now that Homeover image is there and working for me on hover (you may need to use Shift+Cmd+R).

It is a problem with the Flash object.
IE gets the correct Flash file, but Firefox always gets the same default file in the second object tag.

Handbags:

IE: homeflash3.swf
Firefox: homeflash5.swf


<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="701" height="700">
<param name="movie" value="homeflash3.swf">

<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="homeflash5.swf" width="701" height="700">
<!--<![endif]-->

<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>

Apron works:

IE: homeflash4.swf
Firefox: homeflash4.swf
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="701" height="700">

That home hover image seems to be missing on the server, so you need to look into that.

The other pages seem to be missing as well causing the links not to work.
So you need to check all the files on the server an upload any missing files.

Thats just it, everything is there. And works fine in Safari. Is there something I need to do different for firefox?

thanks

That homeover.png really isn't there and you can check that by opening the link.
Google Chrome shows a broken image if I hover the Home menu entry and also the links aren't working there as well.
If it still works in Safari then Safari may be still having that data in the cache and uses that instead.
You can try a reload with a cache bypass in Safari to see if that still works.

I tried to empty the cache, reloaded, same thing. I tried to open the image of homeover.png and it said there were errors. What errors though, I don't get it.

That is the alt text that Firefox adds to a single image and that is shown until the image is loaded and rendered.
If the image loads correctly then you see the image instead of that alt text.
In this case the image isn't loaded, so you still see the alt text.

The image is definately there. I totally redid the image and uploaded it yet again. But that is just a small part. My other pages aren't loading the correct file at all . That really baffles me. Each page loads the "About Us" flash file. Now THAT is weird!!

I think that will work! Should I use the code you have above? I just changed the .swf file name and it worked. I'm not a programmer, just a designer. I'm trying to learn html, actionscript, java etc. This is all helping me. Thanks! I'll post again if I keep having problems.
