Why does my Flash presentation created with iSpring not display in IE 6?

Asked by mrcoulson in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Macromedia Flash

Tags:

We have a PowerPoint presentation that we broadcast as a cable channel.  We also have hosted the PowerPoint on our website as a download for years.  Recently, I decided that is dumb and it would be much better if it were Flash so people could watch it right in the browser window.  I found this nifty software called iSpring that converted it to Flash and made the HTML code so all I had to do was put it on the web server, change a link, show the slide show's creator how to do it, and move on to the next project.

Well, it works just perfectly in IE 7, Firefox, and Opera; however, it does not work in IE 6 even if I click to activate as IE requires users to do.  Since 90% of visitors to our site are IE 6 users, I feel it behooves me to correct this problem.  I don't know how, though.

Clearly, it is either something wrong in the way the Flash file is created or something wrong in the HTML.  I'm missing it if it's in the HTML, though.  So, please take a look.  If you see the solution, I'd love to know what it is!  Start Free Trial
