I am trying to load a flash object and I am having a hard time getting it to work in ie6,ie7, and ie8. The flash object is a button for an uploader. The flash object loads in firefox, chrome, safari, opera, and ie9 fine. I have searched google for answers and I have not been able to fix it. Here is the code that i used to load the flash object (it has changed various times with no luck in ie6-ie8)
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../flash/s3_upload.swf" codebase="http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" width="266" height="46" id="s3_swf_1" style="visibility: visible; ">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="low" />
<embed src= "../flash/s3_upload.swf" quality="low" width="266" height="46" id="s3_swf_1" wmode="transparent" menu="false" style="visibility: visible" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/" />
</object>
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Consider using SWFObject to embed your SWF in your HTML page. SWFObject relies on Javascript, but will make sure that the correct version of the Flash Player is installed, as well as generate the proper embed object for the user’s particular browser.
I’m not sure what’s causing this particular issue, but it’s likely that using SWFObject will solve your problem.
