Re: Flash object in HTML; shows in FF, not in IE

You are keeping in mind that IE has been changed in the way objects can be
embedded into a web page due to the eolas patent. Try clicking on it to see
if it's possible that the flash just isn't activated. The other thing is
the object tag. Keep in mind that the embed coding is used by one browser
and the object coding is used by another. an example for your first flash
would be:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0";
width="179" height="180">
<param name="movie" value="/Files/cubes.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="true">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="Window">
<param name="scale" value="ShowAll">
<embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer";
src="/Files/cubes.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
scale="ShowAll" play="true" loop="true" menu="true" wmode="Window"
quality="1"></embed>
</object>

To embed flash objects in my pages, I read them from a database.
A script file (Filedownload.aspx) reads it from the database, and
streams it to the browser.

Here are two example flash objects in a page. The first 1 (a simple
link to an existing swf-file on the webserver) is showing in each
browser (IE & FF), while the other one (using the filedownload page) is
only being shown in FF.

Does it have something to do with file-extension?
I'm stuck here...

Any help is appreciated !!

<embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer";
src="/Files/cubes.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
scale="ShowAll" play="true" loop="true" menu="true" wmode="Window"
quality="1"></embed>

<embed pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer";
src="/Files/filedownload.aspx?fileid=5cb316a4-363b-457e-b60d-e10e457a31ea&output=flash"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" scale="ShowAll" play="true"
loop="true" menu="true" wmode="Window" quality="1"></embed>
