    Hi there,

    I am using a flash slideshow with XML in the sidebar to display images. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome. However, in Internet explorer, the page stops loading once Flash file (swf) is loaded (it wont load the content and footer). Even after all the images are loaded and the loop is started, page doesn't load either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

  2. Zafar, I do not get this slideshow.swf to display anything in any browser.

    To embed Adobe Flash Player it's still the best to use SWFObject 2. This a not so difficult to use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content. You just load one small JavaScript file, swfobject.js. http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

    Actually your wp-cumulus is using and this swfobject.js already. This might be the reason I do not see your flash?

    your ...ss.in/media/flash/fei/slideshow.swf is running well if I just enter this path in the browser. I just see that the size is actually 1274 x 409px, you force to display it in width="300" height="250" - this might be another problem

    just disable wp-cumulus to check if the problem comes from there, try you widget code in another place of your site or learn how to use swfobject...

    Hi Joern

    Thanks for your reply. There was an error on my part. I forgot to include the closing <object> tag. It's now resolved now.

    I always use object tag to include flash media. I'll go through the javascript method also, learn and implement it eventually.

  4. when i had issues with IE it was because of the crossdomain.xml file was not present. put it in the root of http://www.yourdomain.com and it will solve a lot of problems flash might have.

    create file called crossdomain.xml na dput code similar to this in it:

    <cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="www.yourdomain.com" />
    <allow-access-from domain="http://www.yourdomain.com" />
    <allow-access-from domain="yourdomain.com" />
    <allow-access-from domain="http://yourdomain.com" />
    </cross-domain-policy>

    hope this solves the issue!
