HAY GUYS

So I have a lot of videos on my site. For them I use flash video, in the swf/flv method. I encode and then upload my .flv, then create a .swf that plays it.

I'm using the Joomla CMS for my site, and embedding this .swf into a page in it doesn't work correctly (the 2nd .swf file for the video controls like volume etc. doesn't show), so instead I use an iframe of a simple file that shows the video. (I hope I haven't confused you ;_; )

To ease adding new videos, each of my .swfs is in it's own folder and named index.swf. My "show video" file just displays the index.swf and also has a direct link to it for fullscreen viewing if anybody wants to see it fullscreen.

My problem is that the videos don't show in Internet Explorer ;__; but they work fine in firefox.

PHP Code:


			
<html><head><title>Short Story | Slyph.org - Display Video</title></head>
<body style="background-color: #FFEECA; color: #fff; font: bold 12px arial, verdana, sans-serif;">

<center><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

<embed src="index.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFEECA" width="400" height="300" align="top"

allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object><center><br>
<center><a href="index.swf" TARGET="blank"><strong>View Fullscreen</strong></a></center>

</body>
</html>

An example of it in action is here, and you'll notice that it's showing an iframe of This, of which the code is above. I'm an ultimate HTML newbie so I'm guessing I've made an error somewhere

Any help would be <3'd.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I suppose you could take a look at this page:
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/access...earch_of_a.cfm

Try looking at the source for the nested object method (it doesn't use any <embed> tags).

Then again, it could be because your first object tag is missing the closing bracket.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
