IE flash background problems (swfobject)

I've slowly been adapting this site to work on browsers and I just need some help getting it working in ie.

I have a full page flash background that apparently does not show in IE - polivision.tv/test.html

Using swfobject, the html for the code is

<object id="background_vid" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="100%" height="100%">
<param name="movie" value="background-vid.swf" />
<param name="loop" value="true" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000" />   
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<o开发者_开发问答bject type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="background-vid.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
  <param name="loop" value="true" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="bgcolor" value="#000" /> 
  <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
  <!--<![endif]-->
  <div>
    <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" title="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a><br />
    You need <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">Flash Player 8</a> and allow javascript to see the content of this site..
  </div>
  <!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->

Thanks, Shoma

you have the wrong syntax for conditional comments.. it should be..

<!--[if !IE]>-->

<![endif]-->

Not sure if that solves your problem though. Let me know if that doesn't do it.

Also, you dont need the clsid anymore, you can just use type for both IE and Fx. You should specify the movie parameter regardless.

How does swfobject play a role in this? You're not using any js?

there's a working example of a full-browser SWF at http://learnswfobject.com/advanced-topics/100-width-and-height-in-browser/

it has been successfully tested in IE, Firefox (Mac & Windows), Safari (Mac & Windows), and Opera (Mac & Windows). i suggest copying the source code and editing it as needed.

notes:

1. you don't need to specify loop=true or quality=high since those are flash player defaults
2. you don't need to specify the movie param for the non-IE object
3. clsid should be included for IE to ensure consistency from version to version
