Help! Flash movie not loading in IE

Hi! Everybody, I have a problem with Flash movie. My flash movies load in Netscape easily but it's not loading in IE. I tried every possible way that i could think of but reached a dead end, please help! Here's the code:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title> Welcome </title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css"> 
<!--
body {
background-image:url("leaf4.gif");
scrollbar-face-color:Orange;
scrollbar-arrow-color:Yellow;
scrollbar-highlight-color:White;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<br>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...rsion=6,0,29,0" width="550" height="400">
  <param name="movie" value="Enter1.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <embed src="Enter1.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="400"></embed></object>
</center>
</body>
</html>

I would really appreciate if anybody takes the time to look into the code and help me figure out the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using Mac or PC ?

I noticed the file name has a capital letter: Enter1.swf
Mac's can have problems with mixing cases, so put it all in lowcase.

If you are on a PC - do you have a URL we can see it working/ or not ?

Is there a Active-X security warning?

Hi guys, this is my first post, and my issue is the same as jogajog's.

( I figured here would be a good place to stick it seeing the topic is running

)

I have some flash games on my site, they load OK in Frontpage (the design package), and in Opera (my browser), the sound seems to load in Firefox, but nothing loads in IE!

Sigh, they have worked in the past, I have read about code that has to be added to the flash games from http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/kn...cfm?id=tn_4150

and added it to the page, but nothing changed...

Any help would be desperately recieved

Here is one page with the game I am working on, I figured if I could get the cricket game to run then I could cut and paste the code for the rest.

Thanks for your help

I had the same problem and fixed it by publishing the project again with an older version of flashMX then copied the script into the other html file. But I have no idea why flashMX 2004 doesn't publish properly. There is a hotFix for internet explorer developers, you can give that a try:

Try eleminating the <object> tag and using the elements if required in the <embed> tag. That might take care of the issue. It's a dirty workaround but it might help.
