alright so ive read almost all the posts in this forum and tried all the
support pages on the website but i got no answers. so heres my problem i run
firefox v. 1.0.6 and i have flash player installed and flash movies load up but
once i click anything once i cannot click anything else. i will click a link or
something in a flash movie and nothing will happen. it sucks because i have to
switch to IE to use flash movies. any help would be great. ive tried
uninstalling and reinstalling the player multipile times. thanks

Have you read this: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=184&threadid=1043131&enterthread=y

yes i read that. thats not the problem im having. i can see flash movies in
firefox. i just cannot click any of the links inside the flash movies. nothing
happens when i click anywhere on any flash movie.

This may be related to the mozilla activeX plugin -- once that's removed, it seems to work ok.

I am also having this problem - only in Firefox. The movie loads and seems to
be working fine until it loads one of the SWF files. The file loads, but I
can't click on anything and the key captures do not work. This only happens in
FF, all other browsers it is fine. Any ideas?

I stripped my embed code down as described in this article and voila - my Flash works fine now. Go figure!

I finally found an answer that helped me and thought I'd share it to hopefully
save some of you time and trouble it took me to figure it out.

Per MozillaPluginDoc: "If you have the Adblock extension installed, you must
disable OBJ-TABS, otherwise Flash Player 8.0 will not work."

I have a similar problem with links not working in local swf's displayed in
Firefox, It is probably due to the new security measures in flash 8, with
everything being sandboxed. However, I tried to change the players settings to
"Always Allow", and my setting changes wouldn't stick. I have grumpy clients
who have the same problem, who have "broken" swf's that i delivered before they
upgraded to Flash Player 8. I also sent a bug report to MM. Maybe I should
send them the support bills my clients don't want to pay. ;) I am rolling
back to a working Flash 7 player.. ...telling my clients to do the same. The
punishment of early adapters! ;)

lost, you may want to check again. I was having the same exact problem you
were. Flash was installed and I could see flash movies/objects, but when I
clicked on something in a flash movie or object, nothing would happen. I didn't
know I had this mozilla Active X plugin, but I checked my plugins in my
browser, and lo and behold it was there. To remove it, go to the plugins folder
in your mozilla firefox directory and delete npmozax.dll. When I did this, the
next time I went to a flash site, I was prompted by firefox to install the
flash plugin, I did it and now flash works perfectly. You might as well at
least try and look for the active x plugin, it can't hurt.
