hello….
your original and mod2 both have the css file import in the header:
and also have a lot more of the original css classes and id attributes in tags – so somehow when editing you removed all of those….

hard to say – have you tried it using their flash file? maybe your flash file is not set up correctly…
also post a url – inline code is hard to debug…

hello…
the preservation of the height of the green bar or whatever horizontal bar is being shown is controlled in the flash movie. the embed tag for the movie specifies width 100% and height 100%:
var flashMovie = new FlashObject(“launch.swf”, “flashMovie”, “100%”, “100%”, “8,0,0,0”, “#F7F9ED”);
no php involved. it is scaling both width and height but in the flash code itself they say to not scale the bar vertically and always have it 100% wide in the canvas…

all you should have to do is replace their flash movie with the path to yours, but here’s a 3rd party tutorial:

hello…
it looks nice! most of the links go to 3rd party uis like blogs and forums, but the pages that are in your template look nice. a little busy on the home page for my tastes, but nice work…
as to where to learn javascript – sort of a loaded question, as what you want to learn and how you learn best (book, try-n-learn, class, etc.) would greatly influence an answer to that question…

the super-easiest way to achieve this is to view the source of that page and swap out the bits you don’t need and put your movie in the flash render tags…
(not trying to sound flippant – i mean i could explain it and document it, but what the heck? you have a working example right there to learn from)

it’s something in your table that firefox is getting hung up on – with a table of that complexity, it’s impossible for me to say w/o manually futzing with it, but something in there is not making firefox happy – it could be your tags that have wraps in them or the newlines/spaces between content and the ending td tag for that cell or a variety of other things (like the flash movie itself for reasons due to embedding)…
i would start by removing things and see how it goes – the first thing to take out would be the flash movie itself – put in a filler image at the exact same size as the flash movie, and if the lines don’t happen after that, then you know your culprit – at that point, start messing with that embed code and see what happens – change the size of it, params, etc. until you can track it down…
not the simple answer you were hoping for, but it’s the best i can offer…hope that helps!

hello…
you don’t really need a special type of host for video – just a plan with a host that has enough monthly bandwidth (the amount of bytes that your users request from your server, which includes all users and their email as well typically) and enough disk space…
you can go more pricey but big name (somebody like verio) or a much much cheaper but more dodgy host (no names come to mind but places where hosting is < $5 usd / month)... i'd start here for a general list of popular/good isps: https://reviews.cnet.com/web-hosting/?tag=ont.wh
hope that helps!
