[Hidden-tech] Flash - Mozilla/Firefox display problem

Mark,

I think your issue for Firefox is the width and height parameters in the 
embed tag:

<embed src="menu.swf" quality="high" devicefont="true" bgcolor="#000000" width="100%" height="100%" name="menu" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>

If you change those to pixels instead of  %, things seem to work on 
Firefox.  I threw in "600px" for height and "900px" for width and your 
flash appeared full size.  So if you know the actual/desired dimensions 
of your flash presentation, just put those in instead of the %.  I'd 
recommend making the same change in the <object> tag as well.  That will 
actually make it appear consistently across all browsers.  With the 
current settings, it scales with the browser window.  So if my window is 
small, your text is illegible.
