Fancybox inline flash issue with Firefox

Question

I have a number of fancyboxes on a page (one in each repeateritem) which show inline flash when a button in the appropriate repeater is pressed.

In Internet Explorer the fancyboxes open correctly and show the inline flash.

However in Firefox when opening they open the inline flash in a new tab?? Anyone experienced this issue?

I eventually managed to get it working.

Not entirely sure how but here are some steps i did..

• Stopped using AC_RunActiveContent.js
• Stopped doing client side concatenation and writes i.e. document.write('<object>....</object')
• Instead, (in my case) relied on databinding the changing variable the flash file needed.
• Made the inline flash code as close to the FancyBox inline flash example as possible

That is..

<object width="560" height="340">
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/M-cIjPOJdFM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
    <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/M-cIjPOJdFM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" 
     type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
     allowscriptaccess="always" 
     allowfullscreen="true" 
     width="560" 
     height="340">
    </embed>
</object>

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Working!!.
