Thanks Kyle, have uninstalled and reinstalled - still no good, but, so far, 14 people in different locations across the world who use IE6 and Flash 9 all say they can't see it either.
When I get on the other pc, I'll look at that link. Anyone else here that can see the film on the link below, using IE6 and Flash 9 ? www.130609.com/bunny Chris _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Getify Solutions, Inc.

I just tried it in IE6 + FP10... don't have access to try with FP9... but in principle, that means it should work. Also works fine in IE7. But, to me, this sounds like either a bad install of flash on that browser, or some security setting preventing things from working. First, go here from the suspect browser/system: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html See what it reports for flash being installed. Even so, also try uninstalling flash and reinstalling it... search on adobe.com for the flash player uninstaller, run that, then download the latest flash (or if you really want to, go to the "flash player archives" also searchable on adobe.com and get the exact same version of FP9 you're currently on). Make sure of course to restart your browser, clear your cache, etc. If it still is broken, try then to reset the security settings on the browser back to defaults. I'm willing to bet somewhere along this path, you'll get a solution. 999 times out of 1000, that turns out to be the case. --Kyle From: Chris <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 01, 2010 5:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Viewing it with IE6 and Flash 9 ? Thanks Sam, I've put that code you kindly suggested, into the page, but now, (in IE6 and Flash 9), it still doesn't play ? www.130609.com/bunny Chris. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sam Sherlock Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 10:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Viewing it with IE6 and Flash 9 ? I see your using the flow player flv viewer - this will help you get started. Also you should be checking the flowplayer forums - flowplayer itself has an alternative to swfobject (I have not tried it); also the flowplayer forum does have some posts about using it with swfobject The code below is working (upto a point - I can't seem to get the flv to display :P ) in the head put the following: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js";></sc ript> <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = { config: "{ playList: [ { name: 'clip1', url: 'bunny.flv' }], loop: false, autoPlay: false, autoBuffering: false, startingBufferLength: 0, bufferLength: 3, hideControls: false, showFullScreenButton: false, initialScale: 'fit', showPlayList: false, showMenu: false, menuItems: [false, false, false, false, false, false, false], controlBarBackgroundColor: 0x96A0AF, timeDisplayFontColor: 0x00478E }" }; var params = {}; params.quality = "high"; params.scale = "noscale"; params.wmode = "transparent"; var attributes = {}; attributes.id = "FlowPlayer"; swfobject.embedSWF("FlowPlayerLight.swf", "player", "384", "316", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes); </script> and in the html body put the following: <div id="player"> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";> <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player. gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /> </a> </div> - S 2009/12/31 Chris <[email protected]> Thanks for the info and link Sam, I have looked through that page and looked and looked and looked, but am still as confused as before ;-( Is there an easy-to-use guide for complete newbies anywhere please ?
