Hi Guys,

Got a funny problem. I have a php section of my site with a login and a flash chat room that can be launched. The script was working fine. I needed to make a funds page secure so I made the entire php area run on https when it is logged into.

After I did this, the chat room is launched fine, from firefox only. When i try to launch the chat room from internet explorer, it just doesnt load. it worked perfectly fine before i made the php pages https.

I've just not seen this before where it will work in 1 browser and not in another major one.

What is internet explorer blocking that firefox is not?

I tried making the funds page https and the rest of it not, but since they are all php pages and linked and connected, i get the "this page is secure with unsecure content warning a lot.

What i really need is the gold lock to show on the funds page, and the rest of the script area i dont care if its secure, but if i could fix it so that its secure and a internet explorer user can launch the flash chat room then that is pefect.

Hopefully its something small

Thanks for your help in advance

in your object tag are you asking for the .swf from https?

Lets say you are at [example.com...]

Your object/param/embed tags are requesting a .swf

Are they requesting it from here?
[example.com...]

Or Here?
http://www.example.com/flash.swf

If it is requesting it from http and not https then IE has a setting where if there is a mix of "secure"(https) and "non-secure"(http) content, it can be made to only show the "secure" stuff which is most likely what is happening.
