Hi,

If anyone could help i'd really appreciate it. I can't seem to get flash to appear in IE6 even when the flash file is published to the oldest possible version for it to function correctly. Most are exported for version 5 and these still don't appear (im left with a blank white space). Surely there is a fix for this? It works fine in all other browsers!

I've searched for days online trying to find a fix but nothing seems to work. I even used the code provided by Adobe and that doesn't work and tried it with and without embed tags.

Can anyone please help by posting the correct code or by telling me what im doing wrong in the codes below (which is just two example i've tried):

Code 1:


<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','713','height','285','title','Gallery Banner','src','flash/banner_01','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','flash/banner_01' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript>

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="713" height="285" title="Gallery Banner">

<param name="movie" value="flash/banner_01.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="flash/banner_01.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="713" height="285"></embed>
</object></noscript>

Code 2 (according to the adobe 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" name="myMovieName" width="556" height="253" id="myMovieName">
<param name="movie" value="flash/trad_flash.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<embed src="flash/trad_flash.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="556" height="253" name="myMovieName" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></object>

Please can anyone help. it's drving me crazy!

Personally, I can't see anything wrong with your code. It should work in IE6 no problem.

Sorry I couldn't be of any further use....
