this usually means your file path to swfobject.js needs fixing. try making the link absolute: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://search-this.com/swfobject.js"></script>
someone of another forum said, "I found yet another IE bug related to this topic. After a page is cached by IE and reloaded, the SWF is loaded before it's embedded, so any callback functions the SWF tries to setup when it loads (like the JS->Flash ExternalInterface code) will fail with an error "objectID" is undefined. Then when you try to use the callback function you get Object doesn't support this property or method because the functions didn't get assigned to the Flash object properly."
of course i clicked the link. how else would i know it was a 404 error? :P
"404 - Where oh where is my page? Page Not Found!
Dude! Where are we? Something must have happened to the page your were looking for.
Perhaps you clicked on a bad or outdated link, perhaps you mistyped the URL in your browser, or perhaps bad things just happen sometimes. We're sorry it didn't work out."
I found out what was up! It was the below line that I had put in my .htaccess file to prevent people from hotlinking to my js files. May want to remember that one... <code> RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?search-this.com/.*$ [NC] RewriteRule \.(js|css|swf)$ - [F] </code>
