Flash Shows in FF But Not IE

[minnseoelite]

Ok I am trying to help hotmonkee get a gen added to her MSRS site. The gen is not an MSRS version but I have managed to get it on the site and working now in Firefox but in IE it is still not showing up, It just loads the first screen but it wont finish loading.

I have looked at some other webmaster forums and thought the problem was a missing </embed> tag so I added that and it still dont want to load for me in IE.

Here is the page....does this load for anyone in IE?

Here is the code I have, anyone got any ideas....

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="460" height="790" id="loader" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="http://hotmonkee.com/glitter-factory/loader.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="http://hotmonkee.com/glitter-factory/loader.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="460" height="790" name="loader" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed>
</object>

could be the embed issue iissue nsmchris mentioned in his flash gen tutorial. he used javascript to get around the problem. you should message him about it, i'm sure he can point you in the right direction.

alright cool, yea i knew IE has some issues with flash sometime now with its new security crap....ok thanks man

if anyone else knows for sure what it might be feel free to post still

[rize]

is that the free script w/ source code that was give here for free? or did she buy that? lol

[minnseoelite]

i think she bought it...not really sure, its a pretty simple script but like usual IE is being a pain in the *ss for me :P

Funny that you start this thread. I usually work in FF and this morning I decided to check my site in IE and realized that most of my gens are not showing up in IE. I was about to send a pm to chris to see what I am doing wrong.

[minnseoelite]

it has something to do with using <object> and <embed> tags on the page....if you call the file with those tags though from an external file they will load as normal (reading about it right now lol)

If anyone is interested here is the page with a work around fix from Adobe that I am looking at right now

i actually wrote to chris a few days ago about the same think. I too only use firefox and after installing chris' gens (the ones using javascript) I checked my site with IE6 and they don't show up. We thought it was my browser, but if others with Chris' gens are having the same trouble maybe it's not just me. :P

Does it work in IE7 and FF and not show up in IE6? Or is it broke for all IE's?

i dont think this gen is from chris

[nsmchris]

Very strange, this one isn't one of my generators, but I've now had 3 ppl in the last 2 days say they are having problems with IE6 and flash. I've tested with IE6, IE7, and FF2 on my end and all is working fine.

I did hear from minnseo that $rootBase may have been causing problems in IE with this gen (changing base hrefs with flash can cause some loading issues). Others having problems were using MSRS which uses $rootBase, but I don't think Fapsian is using MSRS.

I'll do some more research and see what is going on. If you have IE6 can you test a couple of my gens and let me know if they are showing for you?

Chris...

[hotmonkee]

all my gens from chris work fine in IE6. this is the only gen that doesnt work

i got this gen A LONG time ago and was running on my old site, i just decided to try it on my new site and right now im having it load on another page until it can be fixed, if ever.

i had to do the same with my layout gen.

Make sure everything is in the directory it should be in, works fine with IE7, and I beleive this gen is one of primus'

This isn't right,

[hotmonkee]

yeah, i just got a message from primus and he's gonna get me the msrs version. so thats cool of him. i guess i should have went to him first, would have saved us a lot of time ;) lol

@marshall_26

Yea that was the only way I could get it to load in FF when using it with the $rootBase code at the top otherwise it would not load even in FF with the $rootBase code....but thanks anyways for the help

i dont think this gen is from chris

Its not his Generator at all. When I traded Tina the script it was there cause I paid for it but never got it to work so it was just in the files that I gave her.

I still to this day havent gotten it to work though Primus sent me new files I havent tried them as of yet.

This Generator was to be used on ALL my sites and since I traded her the script and all content she has every right to use it.

Thanks Will. I actually had this glitter factory script for a long time. Well, since like Feb. I took the script from my old site and am trying to get it working with MSRS. I didnt even know it was in the traded files. LOL.
