    In case anyone runs into this, adding defer="true" to the script tag on your page will fix it. Has to do with some IE rendering issue. More info here. All the info I've found recommends defer="defer", but the tag is actually a boolean. Strangely, it doesn't seem to matter what it's set to (true, false, defer) in my testing.

    Hopefully this saves someone the 3 days of cursing I've just had :).

    I may stand corrected on this:

    I was just putting a script into the head of an html page using Dreamweaver. When I selected the defer attribute from the auto-complete/available attributes menu that pops up, it was automatically populated with a value of "defer". No other options were available, and I suppose technically this is still boolean now that I think of it, so I would go with defer="defer" instead.

    The reason why the defer="defer" is because of Attribute Minimization - or in XHTML's case, the lack of Attribute Minimization. If you read here - http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.5

    At one time you would have this <input type="radio" selected> but now you have <input type="radio" selected="selected">

    Check out the whole article sometime and see the differences of HTML 4 and XHTML1 http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/

    I hope this helps you guys out.

    Sorry guys, I've been reading about this throughout different sites, and I still don't get it.

    If i change this:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://swfobject.js">

    into this:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://swfobject.js" defer="defer">

    my flash movie instanced below simply won't load.

    Can someone explain it to me, please? THX

    try switching to the latest SWFObject and see how it goes.

    http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

    support for SWFObject 2 is handled by the SWFObject google group.

    I'm sorry but if I do this, IE7 will also not render my movie any more. I'm using SWFO 2.
    How to resolve?
