Folks without js enabled will get the notification in IE, but that seems unavoidable. Don't have it handy, but one of the guys here started work on some JS that looped over embed tags within noscript tags and automatically did the equivalent of your createFlash() call. The approach showed a lot of promise. -T --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.

[cfaussie] Re: IE and Objects in browser
Hi, You have to call a function to write the flash from script (this was adapted from macromedia's solution). - function createFlash (movie, width, height, flashVars, allowscale, allowtransparent) { if (allowscale == undefined) { allowscale = 0; } if (allowtransparent == undefined) { allowtransparent = 1; } document.write("http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0\"; width=\"" + width + "\" height=\""+height+"\">"); document.write(""); document.write(""); document.write(""); document.write(""); if (allowscale) { document.write(""); } if (!allowtransparent) { document.write(""); } document.write("http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\"; type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\""+width+"\" height=\""+height+"\">"); document.write(""); } - Then, use it as follows - createFlash (movie, width, height, flashVars, allowscale, allowtransparent) - Now I'm just being too helpful joel -----Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dale Fraser Sent: Friday, 9 June 2006 2:20 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: IE and Objects in browser Andrew, My understanding was that it was how it was called, and if you call it correctly you won’t have any problems.

SWFobject will do it: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ But be careful if you are pushing _javascript_ variables into the Flash.. sometimes it doesn't instantiate itself quick enough to catch them.
