I don't really know how to explain this so I am sorry. I created a website with a flash banner at the top. Everything work perfectly in Mozilla. But when I tried to open the site in IE I got a big black spot at the top bigger than the banner even is. When I highlighted the blackened area this code was there..

AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','800','height','160','src','images/banner1','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','images/banner1' ); //end AC code


I created this site using Dreamweaver CS3 and I used Flash CS3 for the flash file. I don't understand what I am missing. It isn't just my computer though...I called my host and they had the same issue and my husband had the same problem on his computer at his work. Here is the site...Like I said the problem is only in IE that I know of.

This looks like an HTML problem.
Testing this much on a blank page in Dreamweaver, the banner seems to work just fine.

So the problem is not the <object>…
Further investigation shows :
//end AC code </SCRIPT>
just before the <object> code above. I see a closing tag </SCRIPT> but no opening tag…??? Different browser will parse this differently.
Recheck your code… (and cross your fingers).

You are a lifesaver!!!! I looked and this is what the opening tag looked like:

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','800','height','160','src','images/banner1','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','images/banner1' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="800" height="160">
<param name="movie" value="images/banner1.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="images/banner1.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800" height="160"></embed></object></noscript>



So I deleted <script type="text/javascript"> and it works now! Thank you SO much!!! I really appreciate it!
