Hi All,
I am trying to get Enhance to work with swfObject 2.2. It is working
fine in Mozilla but not IE8.
I have narrowed the problem down to this section of swfObject's code
(not saying there is a bug in SO - just that this is where things are
going wrong):
else if (typeof win.ActiveXObject != UNDEF) {
try {
var a = new ActiveXObject(SHOCKWAVE_FLASH_AX);
if (a) { // a will return null when ActiveX is
disabled
d = a.GetVariable("$version");
if (d) {
ie = true; // cascaded feature
detection for Internet Explorer
d = d.split(" ")[1].split(",");
playerVersion = [parseInt(d[0],
10), parseInt(d[1], 10), parseInt
(d[2], 10)];
}
}
}
catch(e) {}
}
Specifically, the var a = new ActiveXObject(SHOCKWAVE_FLASH_AX); is
failing. I placed an alert in the catch(e) and get the following
message:
"automation server can't create object"
I tweaked the outputStatus function to also show the id of the div
where the swf content should go and placed a catch around it so that I
could display any errors in an alert.
Here's my SO embed statement:
swfobject.embedSWF(fullMoviePath, myDiv.id, width, height, "9.0.0",
false, flashvars, params, attributes, outputStatus);
Here's the link to my test page:

In Mozilla, you get the tweaked outputStatus alert. After clearing the
outputStatus alert, you will see a T-Rex animation run across the
screen.
In IE 8, you get the error I mentioned above and no T-Rex. The
I am running Firefox/3.0.11 with Flash Player 10.0.22.87 (working)
and IE 8.06 with FP 9,0,124,0 (Not working).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Steve
