Problem: An embedded swf presentation is not visible in Firefox 5.0 but is visible in IE 8 (this may affect other versions).  This came to light in some of the HUM111 swf presentations.

The latest version of Firefox does not deal with <PARAM> tags very well.  Successful videos have additional <EMBED> code.

You must add the following HTML code before the </object> tag...

<embed width="550" height="620" loop="false" play="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" src="http://courses.cscc.edu/bbcswebdav/xid-266139_1" bgcolor="#000000" menu="true" quality="best" />

The bold content needs to be changed.  Width and height must match what is already in the existing code.  Look for a specified URL in the existing code that looks like <param value="http://courses.cscc.edu/bbcswebdav/xid-266139_1" name="Movie" />.  Copy the xid portion and paste into your added embed code as this needs to match also.

The swf presentation should now play in Firefox.

NOTE: Using the embed Flash/Shockwave content icon and specifying the swf file in the course files does not work!
