one thing I noticed. ie uses the param tag :<param name="movie"
value="viejas.swf" />

the embed uses <embed src="images/viejas.swf"

where is the swf? in the directory with the html file, or in the
images directory. If it is in the images directory, change the param
tag to the following:

<param name="movie" value="images/viejas.swf" />

delella;
The path to the swf is your object tag (<param name="movie"
value="viejas.swf" />) is not the same as the path in your embed tag (<embed
src="images/viejas.swf")...

It is strange that it happens so often... I understand that one set of
"eyes" can
miss an error again and again (which is why type proofing requires several
people checking), but I suspect there are those who see code as a block of
characters in a language which they cannot understand, so they make no
attempt to read or understand it. -Tom Unger

I have a flash movie which works fine in IE when played by directly from the
swf file. The movie works fine in Firefox in any mode of play. But does not
play from the object embedded code in IE. When I right click on the movie it
says movie not loaded. I currently have Flash player 7 and IE6. Here is the
embedded code. Does anyone have a suggestion as to why the movie wont play in
IE?

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=5,0,0,0" width="200" height="320" id="viejas" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="viejas.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#e4d8b3" />
<embed src="images/viejas.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#e4d8b3" width="200"
height="320" name="viejas" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

I have one with the exact same problem. Have you checked that your Pop-up
blocker is not set to high and that your firewall, virus-scan, and spy-blockers
aren't killing it?

If anyone knows something else to look at, I'd really like to hear from them.
I'm using this from my own server with IIS 6 and ISA 2000 and it's driving me
crazier.

When will people start taking the time to actually READ the html before
posting. It would have only taken a couple of seconds to see the object and
embed tags had different movies .. a lot longer that it would take to post
the question, let alone wait for an answer. Its the same problems over and
over "my movie doesn't work in IE" or "my move doesn't work in Firefox" ...
and they've not even done the basics of checking that you are actually
playing the correct movie !!! Arrgghh !!!
