I suspect it is the lack of <OBJECT> tags, which normally wrap around the <EMBED> tag. I would advise using swfObject instead anyway, as it validates. ...

swfObject? Not familiar with that. Adding object tags hasn't fixed the problem.
The problem seems to occur on the first load and if the page loads slowly, or if the main swf loads very quickly. [edited by: GGR_Web at 1:51 pm (utc) on Feb. 9, 2009]

This is the kind of thing Flash itself spews out: <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="test" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="test.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="test.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550" height="400" name="test" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object> Try adapting that. Better, though, to use your favourite search engine to find swfObject. ...

I've tried both approaches and neither so far neither have given very decent results. I can't believe there isn't a more robust solution. I mean, this is just a pain for a pretty trival problem.

| This works in every browser I've tried except Internet Explorer. |
|
As it is a browser-specific problem I don't know what else to suggest. I have never known ActionScript (any version) or its predecessor to behave differently in different browsers, as long as the Flash Player is properly invoked from the HTML. Perhaps re-installing the Flash Player may solve your IE problem? ...
