Flash file doesn't seem to work in all browsers
Hello,
I am in the process of creating a flash file for a website using Xara and was happily working away and testing it in Chrome, Firefox, etc. and then discovered it will not work in IE when it is embedded.
The website is at:
http://www.partofthespirit.com
It works works when I point the browser directly to the swf file which is at:
http://www.partofthespirit.com/images/Intro003.swf
There must be an error in the code but I don't know what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Cat =^..^=

Please take care where you post.
Please indicate whether you are using Xtreme or Web Designer and if possible post your file.
Thanks

The page was not created with any of the Xara products. Steve, would you please move it to the general web related forum?
Thanks.

Sorry, I had copied and pasted the html from Xara into my web page but didn't realize there was a separate discussion for this.

Ok. I've checked the code and the reason is a mistake you presumably made while editing the code provided by Xtreme.
The inserted code is:
Code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
width="475" height="309">
<param name="movie" value="/Intro003.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="menu" value="true" />
<EMBED src="/images/Intro003.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" WIDTH="475" HEIGHT="309" NAME="yourmovie" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</object>
Look at the red fragments. These are the path to your flash file. First instance is used by Internet Eplorer. Second instance is used by some other browsers. As you can see the first instance is incorrect.
Make sure you edit both paths in future. ;)

Thanks, John, I feel so dumb!
