Like a few others I am experiencing problems when attempting to view a swf clip in IE. The code below, created in Dreamweaver MX loads a shockave clips (Flash MX created) into the browser. The clips view fine in Netscape 7 and Firefox (PC user), but not in IE6.0. I have downloaded and re-installed the shockwave player fropm Macromedia (that recognises the three type of browser I have. The site is testing on an Apache server on localhost, again IE does not display the clip. I have tried it with IE and Netscape set as the default browser during the Shockwave player installation! Following the player installation, I am returned to the Macromedia site - and the 'Installation Complete' movie is shown in the browser (IE).
I have tried the relative path to the file (menu.swf) and the absolute path http://localhost/menu.swf. Again I experience the same snag. A very rough and ready test page for you to view is at http://www.eyetronics.co.uk/indexCss.php
All that is displayed is the "Macromedia Shocwave" icon (the one with a series of vertical bars) and a horizontal bar which is infilled. Switching away fromthe IE page and then back again (ALT-TAB) sees the Macromedia icon disappear.
Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
