Flash menu not working correctly in Firefox

I created a flash menu in Flash Menu Builder V3.4 and am having trouble with it working correctly in Firefox V3.0.8 (running on Windows XP). For example, if you click on Community, you will see that the News button reacts and the News page opens.

The site is www.dancespiritstudios.ca

(It works properly in IE6 on XP, Safari on Mac OS X, and Firefox on MacOS X.)

If you continue clicking other menu buttons, most start to link to the wrong page. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

Cary and Westwind, thanks for taking the time to look. I still can't figure out why it's acting weird for me, but I'll continue on.
Thanks again!

I'm actually getting the same thing.

I'm using firefox 3.0.9 and the first few menus work fine, but you click the ones near the bottom it seems to be off setting them by 3 or 4 buttons upward.

In IE it works fine. Im using the flash menu builder 3.4

Previous ones i have done work fine.

Maybe its server related, that is the only difference at the moment between the ones that have worked and this one that isnt working

HEY!!!! I am having the same problem. It appears that if you are clicking around and hit a link in the flash menu before everything is fully loaded it might be taking you to the last loaded link in that menu. Is that a possibility?

If so, is there a snippet of code we can stick in there to force the flash to load before the rest of the page?

This only happened for me on the news button which I had to click twice before the news page opened up. The rest seemed to be ok.
I am using FF on XP. I am attaching a screenshot of what I see on my 1440x900 screen. You might like to try centering your page.

I have a similar problem. Everything works fine on Firefox and I.E.8 on 3 windows 7 computers. However, Firefox will NOT even show the menu on my XP machine but I.E works fine. Any ideas?

Last night I was out at the college lab and they are running Windows 7. I brought up the web page in I.E and the Flash Menu did not appear on that computer as well. It works fine on my Windows 7 computers using IE and Firefox but not on the one at the college. As stated above, it doesn't work with Firefox on my XP computer either. Something weird is going on here. One computer it works fine and the next it doesn't? I'm starting to get leery of even using Flash Menu now.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
