SWF File loading in Firefox but Not IE

hey well I have the following code loading an swf

<object style="visibility: visible;" id="myContent" data="http://www.norble.com/demo/mp3/playlist/preview.swf?t=1286488645000?stageW=525&amp;stageH=300&amp;pathToFiles=&amp;settingsPath=http://www.norble.com/demo/mp3/playlist/xml/player_settings.xml&amp;xmlPath=http://www.norble.com/demo/mp3/playlist/xspf.php?id=4&amp;im开发者_开发问答ageWidth=140&amp;imageHeight=200" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="300">
    </object>

but for some reason it's not displaying the playlist in internet explorer, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

The easiest way to write cross-browser SWF embeds is using SWFObject.

Check it out here: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/

Statically embedding flash into IE is a little different than firefox. If you look at the documentation here there is an extra object tag that's needed for IE. Their example is pasted below for reference.

Though really you should be using SWFObject2 http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/ to embed your content. But the static is good as a fall back if javascript isn't enabled.

<object id="myFlashContent" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="300" height="120">
    <param name="movie" value="test.swf" />
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="test.swf" width="300" height="120">
    <!--<![endif]-->
        <a href="/go/getflashplayer">
           <img src="/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
        </a>
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
    </object>
    <!--<![endif]-->
</object>
