I've found a solution, mind you it's a bit of a retro step - use swfobject 1.5! Works for IE6, IE7, FF3, Safari 3 (still to test on IE8, FF3 Windows and Safari 4). I'm conducting full tests on the site I'm working on at the moment and will post any issues here.
Full docs and download available here (nb: swfobject 1.5 is now obsolete so there's no support etc): http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ On Sep 9, 12:56 pm, Craig <[email protected]> wrote: > Aran > > Thanks for the reply.
