It worked in all browsers on PC and ins Opera and Safari on my Mac running OS X. In Firefox on the Mac, it would only render about the first 10px of the 250px high div. After many hours of frustration I tried setting display:block on the div via javascript (object).style.display = "block"; -- and id WORKS!! Hope this helps someone.

All I see on in video frames is the quicktime "Q" with a question mark over it. None of the fixes in this thread have solved the problem. The only work around I've found is to re-install Flash each and every time I want to use Firefox. That gets me one surfing session. If I quit Firefox, Flash dies. Anyone care to guess WTF is up here? -d As soon as I updated my PPC to 10.4.11 all Flash content stopped working. All I see on in video frames is the quicktime “Q” with a question mark over it.
