Flash control has trouble showing up in IE9, but fine in Mozilla

For some reason, the flash control I wrote shows up fine in Mozilla, but does not show up in IE9.

Not sure what is needed to troubleshoot this.

Here is the HTML markup:

 <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="0" class="logincontent">
        <tr>

            <td valign="top" class="maincontent">
                <center>                   
<br /><br /><div style="text-align:center;width:490px;">
 <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0"
                width="487" height="25" id="logincontrol" align="middle">
                <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" />
                <param name="movie" value="logincontrol.swf" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />

                <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
                <embed src="logincontrol.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff"
                    width="487" height="25" name="logincontrol" align="left" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"
                    allowfullscreen="false" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="https://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
            </object>
</div>     
<br /><br />
                    <a id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_HyperLink1" href="ForgotPassword.aspx" style="font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;">Forgot your password?</a>
                    -
                    <a id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_hlCreateNew" href="CreateNewUser.aspx" style="font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;">Create New Account</a>
                    
                    <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_lblMessage" style="color:Red;"></span><br />

                    &nbsp;<br />
                    &nbsp;<div>

</div>
                </center>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>

Neither link provided a fix, although it was interesting reading, to be sure.

dgofman

It can be problem in this case in JavaScript or you are using old Flash Player or you have error in Flex Security but player doesn't show on the screen.
Please can you update you Flash Player to debugging version and run again

Tom Knowlton

ASKER

Are you talking about some sort of "debug mode" for the flash player itself?

dgofman

By default Adobe installing a consumer version of Flash Player, in this case any errors in the script you will not able to track on the browser, that reason why I suggested a debugger version

Tom Knowlton

ASKER

Sorry, but I do not understand what you mean.

Do you mean open up the FLA file in Flash CS4 and debug the script?

dgofman

No, download and execute this file

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flashplayer_10_ax_debug.exe

(make sure you closed all IE processes)

Then run your HTML on IE

Tom Knowlton

ASKER

Ahhh...okay.

I will let you know when I can do this.

Where does the debug info show up?

dgofman

on your screen, it will display error trace

Tom Knowlton

ASKER

I don't see an error trace yet.

See if you can go to this link:

Go to it in both IE and Mozilla. Mozilla should work, IE will not work

dgofman

Its working for me on IE and FF only diffrences on IE white area height is fullscreen

Tom Knowlton

ASKER

What version of IE are you using?

I am using IE 9

dgofman

Tom Knowlton

ASKER

So...I guess we need to determine why it works for you and does not work for me.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 on a DELL laptop (if that matters)
Processor: Core i5 M 430 (64 bit) at 2.27 GHz on both processors
4 gig RAM

--- what might be the difference for me? Runs fine in Mozilla still, so something unique to IE9 ... but what?

dgofman

Doesn't matter. Problem may be only Flash Player version or ActiveX security on your machine.
I ran your link on another machine Windows XP (I have Windows 7) and working well

Tom Knowlton

ASKER

AFAIK, my settings are fine.

Which settings should I verify, just in case I missed one?

Tom Knowlton

ASKER

My Flash player version is 10.3.181.34
