Mozilla Firefox

I realise there's a topic further down the page but it's been locked so I can't post in it.

I'm having a problem with megazine in Firefox in that it isn't loading the javascript functions.  It works in IE and Safari perfectly but for whatever reason Firefox just displays a blank page with the background colour.

Not so sure if it's a bug or something wrong in the code.  Would I be able to send someone my files to have a look at and see if they can resolve this issue please?

Thanks in advance

P.S. I think it's version 1.29 that I have

Hello!

I am also having this same problem with viewing the finished flipbook in Firefox, version 3.0.11. I'm hoping someone can post a fix on this soon as I'd really like to use this product to show my portfolio to a client!

Thanks in advance.

Me too!

Help please

Can't really say where your problem is... I'm using Firefox on a regular basis, and it works just fine. Are you sure you have the Flash plugin for Firefox installed?

I've just checked the original on the CD, it came with Computer Arts Magazine April 2009 issue and the actual one on the CD works in IE but not Firefox...weird

I've been experimenting a bit and i noticed this:
If in your xml the paths are like this:

Code: [Select]

<img src="src\globe.swf"/> Internet Explorer is ok with it, but Firefox 3 isn't
If they are like this:

Code: [Select]

<img src="src/globe.swf"/>  then both browsers are fine.
Note the difference between / and \
If you are producing your xml with pdf2megazine, and you type say

Code: [Select]

pdf2megazine.bat T.pdf files\page 60 600 900 into the command prompt, then your megazine.xml will be written using \ instead of /, and Firefox won't find your asset.
If you type

Code: [Select]

pdf2megazine.bat T.pdf files/page 60 600 900  then all is good.
This may not be your problem, but I hope that helps.

Hi ramjet,

it works in IE because it's a Microsoft product

The backslashes (\) are actually not valid in URLs, but
IE supports it because Windows uses it as directory
separators.
Slashes (/) on the other hand are the standardized
separator in URLs, so IE has to support those as well.

Hope that clears things up a bit.

Cool, i didn't phrase that very well but i was trying to point out to bexisgod, jenn2133 and ganster that their problem may be caused by this.
