Playing Flash & text files in Net(had enough with this browser)scape

[luckyou]

I am now totally confused with Netscape.

I have a Flash movie which is displaying moving text. The text is taken from 3 variables in a text file and as you've probably guessed works fine in IE.

Netscape, displays the Flash movie, so it has definatetly loaded but the text does not even appear. I have set the parameter play=true.

The HTML code I have used is:

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" CODEBASE="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" width=360 height=70>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="movingtext.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=Play VALUE=true>

<EMBED SRC="movingtext.swf" QUALITY=high PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" WIDTH="360" HEIGHT="70"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>


Do I need to do anything else in my HTML or Flash movie ??

TIA

Might be a dumb suggestion on my part, but are you using F5 script to call the variables? If so, are you positive that the plug-in in Netscape is 5 and not 4? If the bowser plugin is V.4 and you're using F5 based scripting - the result would be just like you described - the V.4 plug-in would ignore the F5 based code.

thanks for the reply but no

I'm using Flash 4 & my variable text file looks like this:

URL1=http://www.test.com/link1.htm&URL2=http://www.test.com/link2.htm

It works fine in IE. In Netscape the Flash has loaded as I can see the background images, but it just wont play.

any more ideas ??

TIA
