Movie will not load in IE

For some reason my site will not load in IE. It works fine on Firefox but it
never actually loads in IE. The url is http://ourphotoalbum.beplaced.com. If
someone could have a look and help me figure out if it is my code or a problem
with the provider?

Thanks

You only have the <EMBED> tags employeed. That is for Netscape/Mozilla
browsers. You need to ALSO include the <OBJECT> tags so IE will display
your Flash content. The two browsers have many incompatability issues, and
this is the reason you must include all your information twice, once for
each browser. Once in the <EMBED> tags, and again in the <OBJECT> tags.

HTH!

I would like to believe that, except when I upload the site to http://www3.sympatico.ca/ourphotoalbum Everything loads fine in both Firefox and IE.

Any other ideas??

Your choice. It seems to me that trying it instead of dismissing the idea
would be the thing to do.

I see that the tags are in place - and now it trys to load. What I am
seeing now is a loading movie screen that goes to 99% and stops. Nothing
happens. Looks like an AS error at that point.

Same here... I get up to 99% in firefox and nothing really even happens when I use IE. It just sits there and churns. I don't even see the progress bar in IE.

hmmm......I can get it to load fine in Firefox but nothing in IE. If you go to the seccond link I posted, it is the same files on a different porvider and it loads fine in both.

I am having the exact same problem. It loads on every other browser except for
IE on PC. It loads on IE for Mac. I tried everything that you guys have mention
but still doesn't work. Any other ideas? Thank you much!

The html lines are not matching in your html..

<param name="movie" value="flash_fa.swf" />
Internet Explorer uses that line and can't find the file because the
directory name 'files/' is missing.

<embed src="http://www.ruttledg.com/files/flash_fa.swf"
FireFox and Netscape use that line and it works.

OOHHH. Ok. I didn't know that IE read that line as the direction to the file. I just thought it was naming it. Ignorance on my part. Thank you very much! :D

Problem is solved but for my curiosity why would it work for IE on a Mac and not on a PC if it is the same program (by name at least)?

Yeah, that's odd. Must be a Mac thing. Sorry, I don't know.
