I have very little knowledge of flash. But I recently coded a website and the client wanted a flash slideshow on the homepage. I downloaded code for this show: XML Flash Slideshow - Simple and easy xml flash slideshow and I tweaked the XML file to suit may clients needs. The slideshow works perfectly in Firefox and Chrome but won't show up in any IE browser. If I visit the .swf file in IE it shows up and works perfectly just doesn't seem to want to embed on the page. I would think that's a javascript issue but everything looks ok. Here's how it's embedded on the page:

Code:

<div id="flashcontent" class="graphics">
			<h1>Oops!</h1>
			<p>It looks like you don't have flash player 6 installed. <a href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" >Click here</a> to go to Macromedia download page.
			</p>
	</div>
		
	  <script type="text/javascript">
			var so = new SWFObject("slideshow.swf", "gallery", "693", "400", "7", "#ffffff");
			so.addVariable("file", "slideshow.xml");
			so.write("flashcontent");
		</script>

There's also javascript reference in the header that I have not touched. Any ideas what the problem is?

Can you post the javascript reference in the header?

Is the code you posted at the end of the page?

Also - IE8 has some development tools. You might want to use them. If you're using IE6/7, you can use alert boxes to watch the code as it is executing.
