1. Flash movies no longer play with new flash 10 player
Ross Ritchey Feb 14, 2009 6:37 AM (in response to sidthesquid)The swf that isn't working on the page you linked isn't loading at all. This is because it doesn't have a full object embed.
Currently the embed you have looks like this:
"
><embed src="/file_download/7" quality="high" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="304"><\/embed>
"
This code is not an accurate embed. A standard embed would look like this:
"
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" id="studio" width="450" height="304">
<param name="movie" value="/file_download/7">
<param name="quality" value="best">
<embed src="/file_download/7" width="450" height="304" quality="best" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>
</object>

2. Re: Flash movies no longer play with new flash 10 player
sidthesquid Feb 14, 2009 8:51 AM (in response to Ross Ritchey)So you're saying it's a problem with the swf file itself? How do I properly imbed in Flash? The weird thing is that it works fine in explorer, safari and the older version of firefox.

Ross Ritchey Feb 14, 2009 1:20 PM (in response to sidthesquid)The SWF on this page does not load for me in any browser.
Tested:
IE7
Chrome Beta
FF3
Safari PC
This is because you are only writing the embed tag portion of the required object tag. The embed is necessary for non-IE browsers to display the SWF, but the rest of the tag is necessary for ANY browser to display it. -
