Although you develop and design for IE7 and FireFox, there are still a massive amount of end users in the IE6 world. You’d think everyone would be on board by now, but not really.
I did a poll around the office and it turns out, 4 out of 9 workstations are still using Internet Explorer 6. Baffling.
So here’s the scenario.
You create a simple Flash presentation that will be embedded in a HTML document. Testing in IE7 and FireFox works fine, but in IE6 nothing.
There is a solution.
It’s as simple as adding the script tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
Then you add something simple like this in your HTML page
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[var so = new SWFObject("Your_Flash_File.swf", "TestFile", "100%", "100%", "8", "#FF6600");
so.addParam("scale", "noscale");so.write("flashcontent");
// ]]>
</script>
Where you will need to go:
