2 items remaining

[ericaalicen]

I have a page loading 2 flash files. The files load, but in IE the status bar reads "2 items remaining" and just hangs. The flash loads and runs but the status bar just hangs. This doesn't happen in Firefox. I've been searching on this and I've seen that if you have files/directories named "ad" or "banner" that could be a problem, but that doesn't apply here. I have the files in a directory called "flash" and I tried moving them to the root directory. Any ideas? This the object code for one of the files.

I don't know if this is your typo but "about:internet" is "0014".

This is the code created when I published the flash file. I tried changing it to "0014" to no avail. The only modification I've made is to move the flash file to a directory called "flash" and I changed the "value" and "src" in the code to add the directory.

Sorry I didn't read your post properly, but are you saying that the 2 SWF actually show up? It's not your HTML causing it but your SWF in that case. Does it still say "X item remaining" after you refresh the browser?

Yes, there are 2 swf files. And the status bar would continue to read "x items remaining" in IE regardless if you refreshed or not. I have managed to resolve the problem. I used javascript from

to call the flash instead of using the code generated by publishing the file. Don't know why this is necessary, but I gather this is a better way to call the flash object.
