How to embed Flash in IE 8 using SwfObject?

3.4k Views Asked by Sophia Gavish At 04 April 2025 at 23:54

I tried SwfObject for loading swf on a website. It is all good with webkit and mozila based browsers but not with IE.

http://www.rehisaresortes.com/resortes-hidalgo-productos.html

In IE 8 the footer not loading, it like crashes after the swf loads. In IE 7 the player not working, so the footer loads.

How can I debug it? I have a Mac, Linux, Win7 with IE 8 64 bit. On IE 64-bit it gives a message to update the flash player but there is no update for this player from Adobe.

Thanks in advanced!

first of all get the latest swfobject js and expressinstall.swf file from here: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/downloads/detail?name=swfobject_2_2.zip&can=2&q=

I modified your code, it should work if you put the swfobject.js and expressinstall file where the html shows
