Hi Calv, If you're using either a traditional Object/Embed or Flash-Satay method, you could try my fix instead: www.neo-archaic.net/scripts/replaceFlash.js. It simply replaces the existing object in ie, without affecting firefox, and it's been successfully tested with flashcomm in both browsers. Or you could try Kevin Newman/elibol's method from a another thread on this list.
