Flash/IE8 issue! (using swfobject)

programming web dev

Hi,

I used the swfobject generator to create the html for embedding my flash movie. It works fine except in IE8. The movie should fill the screen (100% x 100%), but in IE8 it’s tiny for some strange reason! I’ve attached a screengrab of this.

My html page is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
	<head>
		<title></title>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
		<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			swfobject.registerObject("myFlashContent", "9.0.0");
		</script>
        
        <style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
	margin-left: 0px;
	margin-top: 0px;
	margin-right: 0px;
	margin-bottom: 0px;
	background-color: #000000;
}


-->
</style>

        
	</head>
	<body>
		<div>
			<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="100%" height="100%" id="myFlashContent">
				<param name="movie" value="myMovie.swf" />
				<param name="scale" value="showall" />
				<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
				<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
				<!--[if !IE]>-->
				<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="myMovie.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
					<param name="scale" value="showall" />
					<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
					<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" />
				<!--<![endif]-->
					<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">
						<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
					</a>
				<!--[if !IE]>-->
				</object>
				<!--<![endif]-->
			</object>
		</div>
	</body>
</html>

Can anyone point me in the right direction here as I’m really confused! Thanks!
