Firefox does not show Flash based Soundcloudplayer after embedding
Hi There,
I have some problems with embedding from flash based content because firefox does not show the embedded content.
Last week and the time before everything went fine but now the Flash based player of Soundcloud doesn't work anymore.
I've tried to embed my soundcloudplayers via div tag on my nobleprofile, full code:
<div> <object width="390" height="220" type="application/ x-shockwave-flash" data="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fmanuel-turobin%2Fsets%2Fmanuel-turobin-fancy-a-swift-one-before-the-show&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=c0ff00"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fmanuel-turobin%2Fsets%2Fmanuel-turobin-fancy-a-swift-one-before-the-show&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=c0ff00" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /> </object> </div>
If I use the "data" URL I can see the player but I dont know why there are problems for a week with that embedding?!
Thanks for any help!

That code work fine for me. I see the player and here the sound if I click the play button. If it doesn't work for you then make sure that you do not have an extension that blocks that content.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hi Cor-el,
thanks for your help.
I've started firefox in Safemode but it still doesn't work for me and others.
Curious: If I visit another profile ( also with flash content ) I'm gonna see it, if I visit my profile on the same network it doesn't work for me and others.
Safari show the players, internet explorer and firefox not.
- Safemode started = It still isn't working
- Uninstalled Quicktime = It still isn't working
Thank you :)
Firefoy tried to download a plugin but cant find one ( why? on the same network on another profile it works? )
Here a example:
Audi Nobleprofile ( Flashcontent ):
My Nobleprofile ( Flashcontent doesnt work in internet explorer and firefox ):
http://studivz.net/manuelturobin
Massive funny:
If I use the div from audi to test it, it also doesnt work?!
I notice a space in type="application/ x-shockwave-flash" in not working flash objects. Firefox also needs the movie name specified via a data attribute in the object tag instead of via the param tag. With those changes applied you should see the Flash animations (works for me).
<object data="http://www.residentadvisor.net/flash/dj-widget/dj.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="390" height="454">
ok cor-el, I've deleted all spaces in there and now I can see the flashcontents reqiured space for the objects but I dont understand what you mean. I already have a data attribute.
Look, this is the div for resident advisor:
<object width="390" height="454" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.residentadvisor.net/flash/djwidget/dj.swf"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.residentadvisor.net/flash/dj-widget/dj.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="flashvars" value="dj=17891&width=390&height=454&start=charts&colour1st=181818&colour2nd=BaFF00&colour3rd=FFFFFF&colour4th=666666" /></object>
Can you show me what to do? Some param names are reqiured.
Greetings and thank you for your help!!!
ok, up to know:
Flashcontent works fine on:
Internet Explorer Safari and others
except Firefox isn't working but it seems to be better ( Flashcontent space is visible but flashcontent not ).
Object tags like this one on the www.studivz.net/manuelturobin page are missing the data attribute needed by the Flash plugin that Firefox uses.
You need to add that data attribute and give it the same value as the value of the movie param.
<object width="390" height="220" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fmanuel-turobin%2Fsets%2Fmanuel-turobin-fancy-a-swift-one-before-the-show&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=c0ff00"> </object>

Sorry man, but I have the data attribute with the same values and now it shows me a white flashcontent ( movie doesn't load, right click on flash movie ).

Maybe the "transparent" value is wrong?
I wonder because last week everything went fine and now it's total destroid :(
Hope, you can help me to get outta there.
Did you look at the View > Page Source of the www.studivz.net/manuelturobin site?
You can search for "<object" via Edit > Find (Ctrl+F)
I'm still not seeing any data attributes for the Flash players on that page. There are only param tags with a movie.

I dont understand you, cor-el.
I think there is a data attribute, may you show me how to do this with my soundcloudembed code?
Thank you for your help!

Did you check all object tags to make sure that they have the correct MIME type and a data tag?
The code in your first post has a data attribute (but a wrong MIME type), but the not working ones in www.studivz.net/manuelturobin do not have a data attribute.
yeah, the first one has a data attribute but this one is also not working. My mime type is: "application/x-shockwave-flash"
But why is this wrong?
if you look at the code that is now on my site you will see that there a all types and attributes and their not working ( except the other ones, only the first player includes all the attributes and so on), look:
<object width="390" height="245" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F299940&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=a0d500"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F299940&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=a0d500" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="390" height="245" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Fplaylists%2F299940&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&show_playcount=true&show_artwork=true&color=a0d500" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object>
