    Hello,

    I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, I can no longer view .swf files in IE. I get this image instead (where the .swfs are):

    image.jpg

    I tried downloading the Flash 9 player from Adobe's site (thinking I may have accidentally deleted it). This did not correct the problem.

    OK... very strange. I wanted to see what I have done differently lately that may have caused this. So, I just did what any of us would do:

    1. Reinstalled current flash player
    2. Reinstalled current shockwave player
    3. Reinstalled current authorware web player

    None of this helped. I then went into Add/remove programs, and uninstalled the Flash 9 player and activex plugin. After uninstalling, my .swfs play again.

    I have no idea why they won't work with the new Flash 9 player, or if i'm misunderstanding something.

    Errr...the image you are supplying is not showing up. It is making it hard for me to try to figure out what is going on.

    Can you try again to post it, or perhaps a URL to it if you can get it to display on a website you own...*if* you own one?

    Thanks.

    I'm at work, so i can't upload it to my website right now.

    However, it's the default picture image, with the red square, green circle, and blue triangle in it.
