flash in IE7

I use the following code to load a flash banner







it works great in Firefox and IE8, but it cannot be loaded in IE7. The site just freezes.

Thank you for help.

Re: flash in IE7

look into swf object. There are licensing issues with Flash in IE, which is why swf object was constructed. http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

Thank you for replying. I found that mojo already has the swfobject script included. I found the key in web.config . However, I didn't find the script in the location indicated in the  key. 

I include the script from the scriptloader in layout.master and it works now.

There is also an option on the HTML Content Feature in the settings that allows you to include the swfobject.

HTH,

I'm pretty sure that you have to add wmode="transparent" to the object tag as well. I think that the param only applies to certain browsers.

Re: flash in IE7

documentation here: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation but I know that you can download a little utility from the google code page that will construct the proper code for you based on boxes that you tick and whatnot. I think that it's this zip here: http://swfobject.googlecode.com/files/swfobject_generator_1_2_html.zip
