    At this site, I can't get the flash banner to show in IE6 OR 7 . I viewed in my Firefox browser, and everything is ok. Does anyone know the culprit for this?

    Here is the flash code that I have embedded. 

    <OBJECT codeBase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0 height=208 width=640 classid=clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000>

    MSFT stepped on some patent toes, and can't run in the standard way. See this MSFT tutorial.

    cheers,

    Actually, I didn't glean much from the tutorial as some of it didn't seem to apply to my issue, I think. But I did manage to figure it out. It seems that I had to include " " inside my codebase and classid code.

    So once the new code looked like this and along with deleting quite a few param, it worked;

    <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000 codeBase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" height=208 width=640 >
    Code (markup):
    Though, there is this problem of a dark blue line that appears underneath the banner now that it works. What's that about?

    I had this same issue with a flash slideshow. That stupid bar that comes up on ie is the most anoying thing in the world. So I found this javascript that embedds the flash so ie doesnt cause an issue
    swfobject.js
    http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
    I try and embed all my flash this way now. I forget every now and then until i test on ie. Then after i have thrown my computer thru the wall I go back and embedit with js. Much better hope it helps
