Hi Kyle, Any chance you could post up the code you were trying? Also what OS and Safari version was it breaking in?
The results of tests I performed came back showing it was working in all Safari versions on both win and mac. The results can be found on the following link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3417104/swfobject/browsers.zip But yeah, it's a trivial fix, just add the movie param to the IE only conditional comment e.g. <!--[if IE]><object id="myId" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E- AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="300" height="120"> <param name="movie" value="test6_flashvars.swf" /><![endif]--> <!--[if !IE]>--><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="test6_flashvars.swf" width="300" height="120"><!--<![endif]--> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="flashvars" value="name1=hello&name2=world&name3=foobar" /> <div> <h1>Alternative content</h1> <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";><img src="test_params_files/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flashplayer" /></a></p> </div> </object> Cheers, SJ On Dec 15, 7:23 pm, Shade <[email protected]> wrote: > Actually, on the topic of the "movie" param... turns out it does break > Safari.
