 * I’ve been trying to embed flash files into my blog.
    They work fine in Opera 
   and IE, however when trying to view in Firefox, the videos appear to try to play
   for a second, but then go to a screne that says:
 * Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.
 * The url in opera and ie display the permalink correctly:
 * [http://colinsbraincancer.com/2009/08/colins-entries-colins-introduction/](http://colinsbraincancer.com/2009/08/colins-entries-colins-introduction/)
 * but in firefox it reads:
 * [http://colinsbraincancer.com/?attachment_id=140](http://colinsbraincancer.com/?attachment_id=140)
 * I don’t understand what the problem is.
 * Thank you

 * You have an anchor tag surrounding the flash video. Some browsers will ignore
   this when you click the flash video, but it seems firefox accepts your click 
   as a click on the link
 *     ```
       <p><a rel="attachment wp-att-140" href="http://colinsbraincancer.com/?attachment_id=140">
       <span id="video0" class="flashvideo">
       <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">Get the Flash Player</a> to see this player.</span>
       <script type="text/javascript">
       var s0 = new SWFObject("http://colinsbraincancer.com/wp-content/plugins/flash-video-player/mediaplayer/player.swf","n0","400","280","7");
       s0.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
       s0.addParam("allowscriptaccess","always");
       ```
   
 * If you go to the HTML edit mode you should be able to remove the link portion
   of that code:
 * `<a rel="attachment wp-att-140" href="http://colinsbraincancer.com/?attachment_id
   =140">`
 * and of course the closing part of the tag
 * `</a>`
 * Then it should be fine in any browser
