Flash in IE

[kaykim]

As a newbie I've been able (with help from you guys on this forum) to get a simple flash site working. Only on Firefox I just realised, it seems the script for embedding has to be different for Internet Explorer. I've done some research about what's causing the problem, but I can't get it working. Can you please help me again?

Thanks! :happysad:

My suggestion to you - find scripts that are either multi-compatible, or are compatible, or only tested for Firefox. Usually, as long as it shows up well in Firefox or any other browser that ACTUALLY FOLLOWS W3 Standards, then it should work in any browser that does not follow W3 Standards.

That´s just the problem - can't find the script that works.........

A more standard way that I think works in both browsers is the <object> tag.

<object type="type" data="Name of Object" width="width" height="height">
<param name="src" value="Location">
<param name="autostart" value="True">
</object>

Most browsers support enbeding objects differently.

Thanks, Twinkie! I have the flash file embedded with this tag (standard Dreamweaver embedding), but it's not working for IE, just for Firefox.
