flash not woring in MAC IE and NS

[example306]

i'm having real probs with mac IE and NS.
i've got a pop up window from the main site which play the flash stuff.

when you enter the flash the intro play in ok, and after you select any one of the 3 buttons the outro plays ok but doesn't link to any of the requested pages.
In IE it justs loops to the start of the intro and NS brings up a directory list of the various htmls and element used within the flash?

check it out if you have a mac.

(to get to the flash click 2nd link on left called 'Egyptian Experience')
i'm using frames within a frameset (dreamweaver)

in my first frame in flash i am using this script:
nextmovie = "";

on the 3 buttons i'm using:
on (release) {
nextmovie = "moviename.html";
gotoAndPlay ("outro", 1);
}

in my last frame:
getURL (escape(nextmovie), "_top");
stop ();

please somebody anybody HEEEELPMEEE!!!!
deadline imminent!!!

hope this makes sense ,sorry it's long winded.

works fine for me, check the version of the flash plugin you're using.

p.s.
Around 850k per section is extremely large for the web, reduce the quality of your background images (and make sure they are jpegs), because they are in the background a little loss of quality will not be noticed much.

The average home user will have to wait about 3-4 minutes for one section at the moment... no-one will wait that long.

thanx SJT,

let me just double check with you cos' i've tested this on 3 different macs and the same thing happens on all of them.......

your definately getting the through to the imap, life_ as and translator section from the intro.

i know i'm acting a bit wacky here but i've been going round in circles on this for 3 days!!!!

now for my dumb question:
if it is a plug imn thing how do i go about getting the necessary one as i thought i had them already?

ps: i know the file sizes are quite simply rediculous!!! all the images that i've imported are jpg's but i have exported the movie with all jpg's at 100% i'll try reducing them as maybe this is the problem? are there any other key things i could do to reduce file size ?

SJT,

i've just reinstalled the flash pluggins on 2 of the macs and it now works!

much thanx.

it's seems its often the littlte things that cause the biggest problems!!!!

much thanx!

ps still need ideas on file size reductions though!
