I have a VERY specific bug.

I have a Flash intro to a site (please no comments, not my choice)

The Flash intro (swf) pulls inn some links from an xml file.

This works fin unless the user is running the following system:

10.6 - snow leopard - running Firefox with version 11x of the flash plugin

Totally stumped as the the cause Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm not on a Mac, so can't test this.

Does Firefox requests that header-links.xml file?

You can check the HTTP response headers with the Live Http Headers extension.

Hi Thanks for the reply... Yes it's the header-links.xml in question

Thanks for pointing me to this tool, however i'm not sure what i would do with this... I'm not a flash or xml expert. I have inherited this site form another company.

Would you mind expelling what this tool wold active. Sorry and thanks again for responding.

You can open the LHH window via the (F10) Tools menu > Live HTTP headers or you can place a toolbar button on a toolbar via the Customize menu.

Then you can reload that page and bypass the cache to make Firefox retrieve all the files from the server.

You can also try to clear locally stored data in the Flash player via the Global settings panel, accessible via the right-click context menu of the Flash object.

Cheers I'll take a look at this and post back on my result
