I am having a perplexing problem with some (not all) flash content not showing up in IE 6.
I am using Geoff Sterns SWFobject to put the flash into my wordpress powered pages. It works great on Mozilla (PC & Mac) but is disappearing in IE 6 on PC.
OK if you look at http://www.lungelo.com/latestmusic in FF & IE you will see what I am talking about. The content area (containing a flash music player)of the page is showing up in IE & FF but the top flash header is only showing up in FF. If I view the source - it looks to me like it should be working fine. Both are published as Flash 7 movies.
Another example is at http://www.lungelo.com/photos where if you see it in FF both the header and body content are showing fine and if you look in IE it is not showing any of the Flash content.
Its driving me crazy so any ideas anyone may have I would be extremely grateful for. I have read the FAQ on troubleshooting and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player. It is the same across 2 PC's
Thanks for your reply. It turns out the issue was not with SWFobject as I first thought but was actually with the Wordpress theme K2. More specifically it was with the window.onload javascript command and internet explorers poor handling of it. I tried several complicated workarounds to it and none of them seemed to work and so I eventually solved the issue by calling the javascript function from the html rather than trying to do it through the onload handler. This worked fine and your excellent script now works across all the browsers as intended.
Thanks for your time and you can close this discussion. Thanks Gregg
