Why doesn't my swf work in internet explorer

[jettisoned]

Im just a hobby flash user and I just added an swf file to my company site and it can only be seen with Netscape. Why would internet explorer not recognize the file info.
Thanks

hi jettisoned

Have a look at you HTML source code. You should see something like this:

<OBJECT classid=&quot;clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot;
 codebase=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0&quot;[/URL]
 WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=250>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=&quot;yourmovie.swf&quot;> 
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> 
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> 
<EMBED src=&quot;yourmovie.swf&quot; quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF  WIDTH=500 HEIGHT=250 TYPE=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; PLUGINSPAGE=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&quot;></EMBED>[/URL]
</OBJECT>

Now, check that you have the <OBJECT> tags and the relevant coding within it, making sure that your filename, background color and movie dimensions are correct. This piece of code is the bit which embeds flash in Internet Explorer.

The <EMBED> tags encase the code to embed the flash in Netscape browsers, and it sounds as though that is all you have.

I looked at all the source and it looks like that is all there and functional. When I have the same files on my desktop within a folder and change the source to reflect it everything works fine. Maybe it is a server problem. Thanks for the help
