I seem to recall a few years ago this was announced as being an issue, but I don't recall the fix. Anyone know?

Plugin to IE? No. I don't use IE so did not even know they had plugins. Are these things the average webmaster uses?

I don't know. I thought you were talking about Microsoft Internet Explorer. Some still use it ...

Why did I know I would regret responding to this thread

ok heres the deal - a few years ago after adobe bought flash there was a legal battle between adobe and MS. Im not sure why but as I remember it - adobe won. Within the legal matter they denied flash to properly work on IE, how i dont know but what it basically made happen is every time a flash element loaded within an IE browser you would have to dead click the application. Sort of a form of consent to use. This issue is easily fixed by the swfobject.js file. So it commonly goes unnoticed...

Are you experiencing a total lack of FLASH operation in IE?

Your <embed> code is fucked ...

This is a basic ...

Code:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="Untitled-1.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="Untitled-1.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550" height="400" name="Untitled-1" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

It just looks like you have your <object> code then your embed after the /object>

I could be wrong but it just looks to me like someone used an IDE to modify it and it fucked up the code. So IE thinks you ahve 2 movies

I was on a mainstream board the other day where a guy showed a screenshot where all the jpegs were jacked up

SmokeyTheBear · 11-08-2008, 11:50 PM

they have also started phasing out text in i.e. it no longer shows up , instead theres a little monkey that tells you everything that was said on the page, it makes reading gfy very hard , especially if the monkey is busy eating or cleaning himself, he garbles the words

I get a little paperclip that pops up and asks if I would rather look up directions to a special needs school when I type in gofuckyourself.com in the address bar.
