The code below is supposed to show a flash game on my site

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="502" height="377">
<param name="width" value="502" />
<param name="height" value="377" />
<param name="src" value="flashgames/5.swf" />
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="502" height="377" src="/flashgames/5.swf">
</embed>
</object>

It works well in Firefox, however, in IE it doesn't show up. You can try to see if its just a problem with my browser settings by visiting this link.

Thanks

Does this help?

Not really. The code is generated from a joomla embed function when writing the articles. The page isn't bloated or anything, it just doesn't load.

Thanks

IE gives me the following screenshot below:

I found the script for that in the source

  <script type="text/javascript" src="/media/system/js/caption.js"></script>

What's wrong with this string of code? I'm not sure what class is undefined means?

Actually, according to IE's view source, this is it:

    	hs.showCredits = true;

Character 1 would be h. No idea what's wrong with it. You might want to check your validation:

EDIT: Try using this code:

<object id="flash1" data="flashgames/5.swf" style="width: 502px; height: 377px" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
	<param name="movie" value="flashgames/5.swf" />
</object>

I tried renaming the values to .swff, but it didn't work. It has to be some problem with the h in hs.showCredits = true;

I'm not to familiar with javascript and am not sure what that function does exactly. I also looked at the Markup Validation and it showed no problems with that javascript line.

Any more ideas? Thanks

Sorry, typo. It's supposed to be .swf. Does the code I posted work if you remove the second f in .swf?

No, it does not.

This has to be a bug with IE, since the flash works with every other browser. I tried it on FF, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari. The games worked in each of those, it's just a problem in ie.

Thanks for your help. Still get anything to fix the problem?

Have you tried asking in Joomla's forums ?

I actually did that yesterday. Still waiting for a reply. I thought those forums would be so huge you would get a reply within 5 minutes.

Thanks
