    Hi,
    I have this code:

    <BODY>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js">
    </script>
    <div id="flashcontent">
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject("index.swf", "main", "100%", "100%", "9", "#ffffff");
    so.useExpressInstall("expressinstall.swf");
    so.write("flashcontent");
    </script>
    </BODY>

    And it works great in Firefox, but in IE right now I get a blank page.

    Why and how can i fix it?

    Regards,
    Mirza

    Is it because you don't have flash 9 for IE?
    You don't have any alternate content/text in the flashcontent DIV, so the user will not see anything if they don't have flash 9 as you have specified or javascript.

    Also, You should put <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"> between the <head> tags as specified in the docs.

    Cheers,

    Hey Mirzahat!
    I've got same problem in IE7 SWFObject 1.5 doesn´t work. I have flash 9 installed on it and i put <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"> in it's correct path.
    In IE7 doesn´t work even in the test official page http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/expressinstall.html
    Check it. Might be we have to try with SWFObject_2_0_generator but I’m in the process of testing.

    Cheers!
