I added an external preloader to my movie, and since then the scroller isn't working in Firefox (it works well in IE, Safari and opera, but not in Firefox). The scroller works well when I don't use the external preloader.

You can see it here:
www.egg-land.com/trabalhos_clientes/fivestars/index.html (the scroller is in the link 'fundo fivestars' and 'Imoveis em desenvolvimento - Correeiros 25').

Can you help me with this?

Hello Luis,

Have you made any changes because I just tried in Firefox and the scroller seems to work fine?

Yes, sorry, I had to send the page to the client, so I removed the preloader. Please visit this link, to see if the problem happens (i don't know why, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't):

Hello Luis,

It actually did happen when I refreshed the page two times. It seems like the mask of the scroller is gone for some reason.

I don't get it why it happens only in Firefox. If there was an error in the swf it should've been visible in all browsers.

Try to load the big swf using a random number as a flash var to prevent caching. Something like this:

somevar = "?rand=" + Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
var urlReq : URLRequest = new URLRequest(String("your.swf" + somevar));


Tell me if that helps.

Regards,
Andrei Rinciog
