Hi Doug You're using addLoadEvent, which means the event will only fire after all page elements have loaded, yet you fail to specify an actual SWF for the <object>, which means the page will never finish loading. This chokes IE. There are two ways to fix this:
1. Specify a real SWF that can load as expected. or 2. Switch from addLoadEvent to addDomLoadEvent. Some additional pointers: - Your page contains a single <object>, with the data attribute but without the classid element. This will fail in IE. Use the SWFObject code generator<http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html>to produce the nested <object> syntax that works cross-browser (be sure to select the "static publishing" option). - You've added your <script> element after the closing </body>, which is invalid. Script elements should be located inside the <head> or <body>. - philip On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 6:48 PM, Doug <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > > On this page (using swfobject.js 2.2): > > http://www.northcarolina.edu/test_dir/swftest.php > > These lines of code: > > function onLoadFiring() > { > alert('On Load just happened'); > } > swfobject.addLoadEvent(onLoadFiring); > > > Will produce an alert, but only on firefox, safari or IE9. > > However, on IE7 and IE8, this event doesn't fire. > > Is this a bug in swfobject.js, or am I misunderstanding how this event > works?
