AC_RunActiveContent.js no longer works in IE

cmbarsotti · 07-05-2007, 05:39 PM

I know, I know, IE sucks and we should all use FireFox. But for those still using IE my web sites are no longer loading, they're telling people to update Flash. I have one site set to accept Flash 7+ and it wont load. I use the Adobe supplied detection scripts with AC_RunActiveContent.js.

Near as I can figure, in the HTML the function VBGetSwfVer() is not creating the ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash object.

Do you think this is an Adobe problem or an IE 7 problem?

Does anyone have IE 6? Can you test www.ericgentry.com (requires Flash 7+)

http://www.ericgentry.com/ works fine in IE7 for me.

By chance, are the people testing your site using the new beta player that came with Flex Builder 3? I found that unless the previous player is uninstalled before installing the new beta player, the beta player will not properly report its version.

no, BUT I did just install CS3 and Flash 9, AND I stayed in a Comfort Inn last night.

Interesting, I'll uninstall all and give it a try. Funny thing is that the Adobe detection page (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ works fine.

I'll let you know.

That was it. Thank you dr..

As an added bonus, I noticed that I had the debug player, now I don't and it works. I'm not sure if uninstalling did it or removing the debug player did it. I'll test that when I have a bit of time.

I'm still on IE6.0, and it worked fine for me!

Glad I could help. I encountered the same problem with SWFObject after I installed the new player. An uninstall and reinstallation worked fine. I'm running a debug version of the player right now, so that's not the issue.
