<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am seeing the Firefox bug on XP. Works in IE 7,
just as you said. In Firefox, there is a long delay before the sound plays, and
it feels like Firefox is having a hard time finding the right swf instance to
pass the audio to. I don't think the garbling of sounds is a problem if you just
wait long enough for each sound. The trouble is, the wait is so long that you
become tempted to click again, or click a different button, and then the sounds
are interrupting each other when they are finally ready to play. Once I
have played the sound from a given button, it works properly thereafter. This
suggests that you are not actually loading the sound files until the button is
clicked the first time. Maybe if you load the sounds, but do not play them until
click, the problem will go away.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another possible work-around would be to use just
one swf file for each set of files. You've already categorized the terms, so why
not have a single swf for each set of buttons? One swf could contain as many of
your buttons as necessary, and also include the text. That might even help for
those of us who do not have the proper font installed to see the korean
characters. It would depend of course on whether you embed the font. I realize
there are down sides to this, but I think it is workable if you put your data
into an external file, or pass it to the swf using the FlashVars. The only thing
would be, you'd have to pass a list of terms and filenames, rather than just the
one you are currently passing. You'd need to set the height of your flash to
accommodate the number of terms in each, which is a slight extra complication,
but if you wanted to you could have javascript do that part for
you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Given that your page works when you have fewer than
15 swfs, I think there's a pretty good chance packing 10 or so buttons into each
swf would solve the problem. No guarantees, of course, but that's what I
would try.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>it seems to be working ok for me in firefox 2 on OS X - what
version of Flash Player do you have installed?

<DIV>It doesn't sound like it would be a swfobject specific issue, but if you
suspect something you could always try embedding them with plain object/embed
tags.</DIV>

<DIV>Hello, bit of a problem here. I'm new to Flash and love SWFObject, but
I'm having a bit of a problem.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I have created a button that plays audio files. It works great in IE
and Safari, but isn't working correctly in Firefox. All the audio gets mixed
up, hardly plays, etc. The buttons to click work great, however.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>An example page is http://<A
href="http://www.learn-korean-now.com/beta/sample1.php">www.learn-korean-now.com/beta/sample1.php</A>
</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>From my days of testing, I think it works great in Firefox if I have
less than 15 buttons on a page. That would make the current site hard to
develop, and it should work fine with more buttons. It uses the same swf
file over and over again, passing the audio filename to the swf file via
FlashVars.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas on what is going on? I couldn't get the audio to play at all
with the standard AC_FL_RunContent, and it works great with SWFObject, but
not in Firefox...</DIV>
