Hello,
Im using swfobject to embed my swf files in html. I have this code:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>72pics - Let you images tell a story!</TITLE>
<META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="EditPlus">
<META NAME="Author" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="">
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="">
</script>
<style type="text/css">
body {  margin-top: 0px;  margin-right: 0px;  margin-bottom: 0px;  margin-left: 0px;}
</style> </HEAD>
<BODY>  
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js">
<div id="flashcontent">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("index.swf", "main", "100%", "100%", "9", "#ffffff");
so.useExpressInstall("expressinstall.swf");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>
And it works fine in fire fox, but not in Internet explorer. I get a blank page...

What could be the reason?

Regards,
Mirza

When I do flash embed I usually do it like this.

Code:
<object width="200" height="200"><param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf"><embed src="somefilename.swf" width="200" height="200"></embed></object>

why not use the "nasty" embed tag and why is it nasty? (if there is something wrong with it, I would like to know so I will stop using it)

Yes, it's bad and it WILL cause problems with activation in IE. I suggest you read this stickie for alternatives: http://www.webmaster-talk.com/html-f...audio-web.html
