Re: trouble with flash movie?

HI!

I looked at the code and in your  object tag's params you are calling one 
swf and in the embed tag another.  Since Mac uses the embed, and 
musync_sept_03.swf is the correct swf, you can see it.  However, IE for Win 
uses the  object tag's param value to look for the swf.

Solution:  change param name=movie value=musync_new.swf to the same value 
as that of the embed tag, which is musync_sept_03.swf

This is what your code looks like now:

  <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" 
width="840" height="400">
           <param name=movie value="musync_new.swf">
           <param name=quality value=high>
           <embed src="musync_sept_03.swf" quality=high 
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="840" height="400">
           </embed>
         </object>

Should look like this if you want to see the same swf in mac and win:

  <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" 
width="840" height="400">
           <param name=movie value="musync_sept_03.swf">
           <param name=quality value=high>
           <embed src="musync_sept_03.swf" quality=high 
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="840" height="400">
           </embed>
         </object>

Hope that helps :-)
