Hi Folks

The problem I'm having is on the following website: www.fruittijewels.com

There's a Flash .swf file at the top which is displaying fine in Firefox, but not at all in IE. I've read up on the issues with IE, and implemented what was suggested, but still no luck.

I'd greatly appreciate if someone could have a look at my code and see what the issue is.

This is in the head tag of home.tpl:

{literal}<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
        <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            swfobject.registerObject("welcomeflash", "9.0.0");
        </script>{/literal}

And this is in the Welcome.tpl file:

<div class="welcome">
    <div class="welcome_text" style="height:200px;">
      <script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','550','height','144','title','welcomeflash','src','../../../welcome','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','../../../welcome' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="550" height="144" title="welcomeflash">
        <param name="movie" value="../../../welcome.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <embed src="../../../welcome.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="144"></embed>
      </object></noscript>
      </div>
</div>

The Flash .swf file, AC_RunActiveContent.js, and swfobject.js files are all under the root.

Many thanks

I ran into this problem the other day. My old javascript trick for flash nolonger worked.

I just put the Flash html straight into the file with out using the javascript and it worked just fine.

Do you mean the <embed> tag? I thought that was the problem in the first place?

Wayne,

The flash is not displaying in Safari3/mac (intel) as well.

Are you hip to the SWFObject ?

Another flash embed tool is JW FLV MEDIA PLAYER

Good luck.

I suppose this works on IE7 but not IE6? ANyone know how to set up both browsers on one machine?

Hi Guys

I got it working! Had to correct the path to the swfobject.js file.

Yeah I'm down with SWFObject, dawg Couldn't understand why is wasn't working! I was thinking the path was relative to the root.

Ashley, check out the Browser shots site: http://browsershots.org
You can test your site in pretty much all browsers. Handy dandy tool.

Phil,

As always, you are the best!!!!

Thank you!!!

To anyone who may not want there flash to loop, you can add a:

<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false>

to the script on Phil's page

just under the

<param name="movie"

of the script.

For those not in the know, you should extract and upload the contents of the flash.zip on Phil's site to your skin 1 folder just as it unzips, then you only change the path for the xcart.swf file to your path.

Again, my sincerest thanks Phil.
