Object not appearing in IE

[Gazzieh]

I have this code to embed a personal player within my webpage:

<div id="column2">
					<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
					<div id="flashPlayer">
						This text will be replaced by the flash music player.
					</div>
					<script type="text/javascript">
				   		var so = new SWFObject("player.swf", "music", "190", "70", "7", "#0055bd");
				   		so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
						so.addVariable("newFile", "audio/america/america.xml");
				   		so.write("flashPlayer");
					</script>
				</div>

Works fine in all other browsers but I get the "This text will be replaced by the flash music player." in IE7.

Any ideas why?

You need to have the swfobject.js script uploaded to your server in the same directory/folder as the .swf.

Thanks for this, but the swfobject.js already was in the root directory.

Well, the text This text will be replaced by the flash music player. is meant to appear if the script cannot be found...
Maybe use swfObject rather than SWF in this line though...

so = new SWFObject("player.swf",

But it works in Firefox, Opera, Flock and Safari?

Okay, found the issue.

It seems IE7, Flash PLayer and Vista are a poor combination for SWFObject content. The solution is to set the version check to 0.

Works fine now in everything.
