Dreamweaver vs firefox

March 8th, 2006, 12:03 am

I have created wowelectronics.com and if you load it with IE the flash picture show runs fine even with refresh. If you load it with firefox it loads fine, but if you reload or refresh firefox, the slideshow picture appear to only show half of the picture. Originally when inserting the flash movie slide show that came with dreamweaver, it was set to a larger picture. I changed the size of it through the properties and the problem still occurs. The only other way I can think to solve this for firefox is to create my own slideshow movie player, but cannot find a tutorial for it. as you can see from the website it is a simple slide show. I need help. I think it's a bug in dreamweavers slideshow that won't update properly or it may be something with firefox.

Just came across this posting. I encounter exactly the same issue with the Flash image viewer in Dreamweaver.

When using Firefox it seems to load ok first time, but after that goes back to its default size. I've tried various work arounds, but it seems to ignore the settings. It does appear to be a bug in the Flash file itself. I wonder if it relates to the LoadVars code, perhaps the image viewer tries to resize itself or something and fails.

I see the same thing, the images appears to move over

Strange?

It does seem to correct it self after the image of the front of the car

Are you using the most recent version of Firefox? If not, try updating and see if it corrects the problem.

I see the problem as well. And my FF is current. It appears to occur when you transition out to the left and transition in from the right. All of your other transitions seem to work just fine and appear the size they should. Only the slide in and out transition.

Don't have a clue why it's doing that, but obviously something FF doesn't like about that transition. As an experiment, try altering your transitions so you don't have that slide transition and see what happens.

Wondering if maybe it's something in the ImageViewer component FF doesn't like.
