[SWFObject] Strange behavior on Mac Firefox vs. PC Firefox

[Geoff Stearns]

well i've seen something similar to this before, but it was only  
happening in IE.

it was only when you use multiple instances of the same swf on the  
same page...

and the result of the other issues was the some of the swf files  
wouldn't show up at all, not partial functionality like you are seeing.

but anyway, try this just to see what happens:

on each swf, put a unique number after the swf file path, so it looks  
like this:

first one:
so = new SWFObject("path/to/swf.swf?id=1", "firstone", ...);

so = new SWFObject("path/to/swf.swf?id=2", "secondone", ...);

and so on - just make sure each one has a unique url so that the  
browser will send a new request for each swf and see if that fixes it.
