dsulvett -> Slideshow will not display in IE7 (1/16/2008 23:12:38)

Would anyone have a clue to why my monoslideshow will not display in SOME IE7 browsers?

I can see the monoslideshow perfectly in IE7 at my job, but not at home and being the fact that i have all the updates and patches on all my machines, i just cant figure this out...

Any suggestions please?

Here is what i have done so far...

lowered my IE7 security all the way down....

reinstalled adobe flashviewer, shockwave yadda yadda,,,,

cleared my cookies...history etc.

rebuilt the slideshow and reinstalled it...

funny thing is, it works untill i get it up on the web....

Thank you

You are not really embedding the SWF file - just having it on there in an iframe with an SWF file. Have you considered embedding the SWF into HTML - either with the Adobe or SWFObject?

could you please explain that? and thanks..

But it works in other browsers such as the one i am on now...

Usually when Flash is added to a website, the code is something like 
<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="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="media/lorikeets.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="media/lorikeets.swf" quality="high" 
width="550" height="400" name="myMovieName" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed></object>
But you are using an iframe and in that iframe you just have the SWF file. This would be similar to pointing to the users to the specific (Flash) file on the browser - i.e. http://www.example.com/Slideshow/monoslideshow.swf - (change to your URL and see if that works in the browsers you are having a problem with). I am not too familiar with Flash but doing it the way you are now, it could be the browsers are just having a problem with it (Adobe / MS issues) and not displaying it properly.

Corey,
Thank you...the problem is that this is a virtual tour for real estate and i must contain it to one page...Realtor.com and the mls doesnt like linking and i just dont want any issues with them..

BUT, im not sure if your telling me to create another page or not...maybe your saying there is a different way to embed the file into the ONE page...??????

im interested in your reply...

Make sure that that line is present. It is required for Firefox and Netscape. Except your swf file name instead of lorikeets.

You should be able to embed the SWF file no matter what. As long as they allow it. Try it - create a test HTML page, embed it and upload it to the server to see if it works.
