Flash On IE8 Problem

[dezinerite]

Please help! I'm designing an HTML website and added an animated Flash image using the object tag. I was handcoding on Dreamweaver and before I saved it I got this message asking me if the code should be modified for compatibility with IE8.

So I just clicked on 'Yes' and a 'script' folder was generated.

The Flash image appears on Firefox 3.5 but comes up with the dreaded red 'x' on IE8. I've attached part of the screenshot.:?

What can I do to fix this?

Your object code will be wrong. The object code has code for both IE and other browsers. So your code for ie will have something wrong in it. The correct way would be like the code below. Make sure both the source params have the correct filename as this is most likely where your problem is.

<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="302" height="50" id="flashOb" align="middle">
            <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
            <param name="movie" value="[yourswffile].swf" />
            <param name="quality" value="high" />
            <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
    <embed src="[yourswffile].swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="302" height="50" name="flashOb" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

</object>
