IE 7 and IE 8 problem

Question

I have this flash piece in my page

www.gamingtables.com.mx/index.php

it is a header if you look at it in IE 7 or 8 the header does not show
if you look in Firefox it is fine.

What could be wrong?

here is the code for the header

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" >
<param name="movie" value="flash.swf?skipintro=0">
<param name="wmode" value="high">
<embed src="flash.swf?skipintro=0" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  wmode="transparent" width="900" height="100"></embed>
</object>

Thank you

just quickly glancing at your source code;

IE has trouble skipping parameters of flash.
change
embed src="flash.swf?skipintro=0
to
embed src="flash.swf
and see if it shows up.

other issues in IE:

<script src="js/jquery-1.2.1.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
	<script src="js/jquery-easing.1.2.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
	<script src="js/jquery-easing-compatibility.1.2.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
	<script src="js/coda-slider.1.1.1.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

make sure these script files are in the correct place.
and change the ending tag:
change

type="text/javascript">

to

language="javascript">

edited post. added code changes and check to make sure the path is correct for the java script as well as the swf file.
it works best if they are all in the same folder, if you are using pure php or html templates for the out put...
if php then in the same folder as the php, if using html templates for the php outout then it needs to be in the same folder as the header.html file.

looking closer at it, it asppears you have <head> twice. now the source I am seeing is the html output of the page.
would you please post your code here so I may have a closer look to assist you in finding the problem.

I need this code:
conintro.html

and all the java files and the swf file need to be in the same folder as thi html file.
your link to the files need to be changed in relevence to this file as well.

See when I include the flash file as an php include it does not show If I paste the object code in the header I get a broken image

weird

Check out SWFObject, its a small Javascript file used for embedding Flash content. http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

casper_wang 1 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 5 · 2008-07-01T23:07:30+00:00

on a side note. edit your .htaccess to include this:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

this will allow users to go to your page without typing index.php

emp++ 0 Newbie Poster · Answer 6 · 2008-07-01T23:10:13+00:00

Yeah, that was the original url but I think swfObect is hosted on google code now

casper_wang 1 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 7 · 2008-07-01T23:10:33+00:00

I just checked, it is there and updated recently.

jencinas69 0 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 8 · 2008-07-01T23:32:10+00:00

I need this code:
conintro.html
and all the java files and the swf file need to be in the same folder as thi html file.
your link to the files need to be changed in relevence to this file as well.

here is conintro.html

<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" >
<param name="movie" value="flash.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="high">
<embed src="flash.swf" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"  wmode="transparent" width="900" height="100"></embed>
</object>

casper_wang 1 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 9 · 2008-07-01T23:44:55+00:00

1: download swfobject.js add it to same folder as conintro.html

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="flashcontent">
  <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"  codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
   width="900" height="100" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="flash.swf?skipintro=0" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="flash.swf?skipintro=0" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="900"
   height="100" name="mymovie" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
   type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
   var so = new SWFObject("flash.swf", "mymovie", "900", "100", "8", "#336699");
   so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

try this as your conintro.html

casper_wang 1 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 10 · 2008-07-01T23:50:49+00:00

your code is missing the java script snips.
it needs to be in the file it will run in.. meaning it dont need to be in the php file but it does need to be in the html file

casper_wang 1 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 11 · 2008-07-01T23:56:01+00:00

very good now center it by adding the tags <center> before

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

and
</center> after

shockwave-flash"  wmode="transparent" width="900" height="100"></embed>
</object>

I see it just fine. maybe update your flash version.
I see your flash banner for Gaming Tables. starts as a G then moves into the name.. nice professional banner.
