SWF object to embed Flash - FireFox Issue

Hi,
I'm using SWF object to embed a Flash intro page. It works fine on all major browsers, yet doesn't seem to work in FireFox - please see: http://www.shoutthemusical.co.uk/

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Of course, replace "test.swf" with your file's name: "shout_preloader.swf"

Thanks that worked, I really appreciate your help on this.
Though do you know why the intro screen doesn't show in FF, as if it thinks that flash isn't installed?

Do you mean that it doesn't show in FF with the codes I wrote?

Hi, it's just that, in Safri and IE for example it displays the Flash intro, but in Firefox, it's displaying alternate content. Even though Flash is actually installed?

Because In your html you are giving a wrong swf name
swfobject.embedSWF("shout_preloader.swf.swf", "alternative", "873", "690", "9");
you need to delete one of the ".swf" . Also you won't need <object id="myId" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="873" height="690"> <param name="movie" value="shout_preloader.swf" />  and  lines when you correct your file name.

thanks, I've done as you've suggested, though now, the Flash intro doesn't show in any browser?
