Hi pluskwa,

Maybe it's a problem related to version 1.5 and IE 6. I have a problem with the 1.5 expressinstall and IE 6, it's only showing the background color as well.
I'm awaiting a reply from Geoff as well, could be the same issue.

Anyway, version 1.4 works great, you might want to try that.
Expressinstall works with 1.4 as well, but I like version 1.5 because of the different expressinstall implementation (you don't have to add extra code in flash movies for it to work).

I usually work with the newest version of Flash Player and everything was ok with it, but I found out while testing the site that a computer with Flash Player 5 installed did not "see" the Flash content, so I downloaded the archive version from Macromedia to test and (after uninstalling the 9 version) I tested with Flash Player 5 which is available there. The effect is - only background visible.
The link above shows:
"You have Flash player 5.0.30 installed.
This page displays your current Flash player version using Javascript."

I tested it first with swfobject 1.4 but the effect was the same.
Many thanks for your interest in my problem.

I don't quite get it, since the content of the link given requires Flash Player 9, as I see in the source. However, tested with Flash Player 5, gives everywhere comment: "You need to upgrade your Flash Player" and bypassing gives pink square. I understand that demanding a higher version of flash than 5 results in success - showing the alternate content, and I could easily convert the demand in javascript of my site to 6 or whatever higher than 5 and this way force users with Flash Player 5 to upgrade. But I have read that swfobject should recognize and work also with Player 5 and that is the purpose of my post - many people in Poland still work with not upgraded Flash Player and in my opinion there is no need to upgrade for some easy animation compiled for Player 5.
I hope this will not give you too much work to help me "see" the content with Flash Player 5...
