My customer is using SWFObject 2.2. The images (loaded from the SWF)
are loading in IE(7) but not in Firefox. I tried every possibility,
without success.

Check IE7 and Firefox to see the difference.

the base param is set wrong

try changing :

to:
<param name="base" value="./" /> 


you might have to tweak this again depending on the structure of your folders - the above sets flash to look for required files (xml images etc from the location of the the html that embeds the flash)

you need to change this param for both the outter and nested object

also this class="swfobj.js" can be removed its not the problem (but I would remove it anyway)

also for me in firefox the images are being loaded but don't show



so I think something else is going on to cause your issue

Try embedding your movies like this:

That was one of the first things I changed: http://www.rpghive.com/images/stories/videos/
. But the images will still not load in Firefox.

Xander: Try embedding your movies like this...

I build a test page on http://www.webconstruction.ch/tests/images-not-loading-in-firefox.htm
without success. Please check, maybe I missed something.

Thanks very much for all your effort.

Best regards,

I can see that you do not read a lot. There is a Javascript code  flashcontainer Center it.
You do not use Jquery and do not have the Jquery center it plugin loaded. So just remove it. It will not help you.

Could you please explain your suggested sollution. And why it should
work.

What do you think is wrong? Do you think it's because of the static
embedding instead of the dynamic embedding? Or a wrong CSS usage? I've
embedded the file like explained in your link but without success.
