Hi guys,

I'm building a website that has a small flash animation in the top left corner of my website - it works fine in Firefox, however in IE it doesn't appear (this is in offline mode) and I have also enabled all ActiveX. The fact it doesn't load seems to be warping my website in IE, yet it appears perfectly in Firefox.

Do you think this could be an ActiveX problem, or just IE's general tendency to not work as well as FF?


Here is my flash embed code:

CODE
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,16,0"
width="320" height="180" >
<param name="movie" value="logo.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="LOOP" value="false">
<embed src="images/logo.swf" width="200" height="180" play="true" loop="false" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>
</object>


I have a JPEG image to the left of the animation, directly beside it. Another problem is that in IE, where the animation is 'supposed' to be, it appears ABOVE the image instead. Should I float the animation left and the image right?



I can supply the entire page code if need be - just not sure if it is the problem. Has anyone else had this problem?

Sorry if this is a little vague, I haven't had this problem before. Anything I can provide to better ensure this problem is solved I'm sure I can give.

The initiative taken for the concern is very serious and need an attention of every one.

Hey Ticbegins,
My guess would be that it is I.E, and not activex. I would suggest uploading it live and posting the link here for us to trouble shoot. As far as the alignment issues you actually are going to want to float both elements left if you want them next to each other.
