So I know a little about web sites and bartered with this dj that I
would create a web site for him if he played my wedding. Everything
went well with the exception of the flash not loading in firefox.
Also, any input on how I can get it to load quicker would be
appreciated as well.

the address is www.my-weddingdj.com

Thanks!!!! Tom

Ok,
You might get it to work by adding a / to the end of your <param>s code
(<param name="movie" value="main.swf" /> etc.), or by using <embed> tags.

Best solution is to use something like this:
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
<quote>
SWFObject is a small Javascript file used for embedding Adobe Flash content.
The script can detect the Flash plug-in in all major web browsers (on Mac
and PC) and is designed to make embedding Flash movies as easy as possible.
It is also very search engine friendly, degrades gracefully, can be used in
valid HTML and XHTML 1.0 documents*, and is forward compatible, so it should
work for years to come.
</quote>

It'll work that way :) (if your users have javascript enabled, most
should:) )
