I created a MP3 Player in Flash CS5.5 using Action Script 3.0. It uses SharedObject to save the volume and stop/pause settings so the client will only have to set the volume/stop/pause once, not every time a page is loaded/refreshed. I use SWFObject 2.0 to embed the player in my web page. I am not sure where the problem is located, but IE 9 and 8 work as I expect them to. Firefox does not. In Firefox, when I press pause, then play, the track shows it is reloading even though the song is already loaded. Also, I cannot press any of the buttons on the player until the load is finished (100%). If I do press them before it is 100% loaded, none of them work until I do a refresh and then wait again for a reload. In IE9 and IE8, when I press pause and then play, the song starts where it left off. You may see the HTML code in my web site, it is on the home page of letsdancevacations that is a dot com site. I cannot find the answer. Please is there anyone that can help? When I am in CS5.5 and select Publish Preview;HTML... it brings up the player in Firefox and it does not initiate a reload on pause/play. The problem appears to be stemming from the reload when the player is started on my Web Page. In the Publish Preview it comes up with the song loaded and does not reload on pause/play and stop/play. Could this be an interface between my web host and Firefox? I have ruled out SWFObject because I created a testFlash.htm page that does not use SWFObject. It was copied from the HTML code that was generated in the Publish Preview. If the MP3 player works on Firefox when it is published as a test in CS5.5, but does not work when published on a web page, what in the world can be the cause???? I also put the files on my desktop, ran the player in Firefox from there and everything works fine. My web host said it was an action script problem first, but I did not understand how that could be if it works fine from my desktop. Now they say it is a problem with Firefox. Are there any settings for Firefox that are used when something is executed from the Internet published page vs from my desktop?

It did not solve the problem.... it only moved the words that describe the problem. Why should I mark it solved when it is not solved?
