Ahhhh!! I’ve spent a good few hours trying to figure out why this code wont work in IE.  
It’s making use of the ExternalInterface from flash 8.0 and works perfectly in Firefox.

```php

function richMedia(val) {
     if (document.getElementById("flashLeft") && document.getElementById("flashRight")) {
         if (val) {
            document.getElementById("flashLeft").richMedia(1);
            document.getElementById("flashRight").richMedia(1);
         } else {
            document.getElementById("flashLeft").richMedia(0);
            document.getElementById("flashRight").richMedia(0);
         }
     }
}

```

It’s called by:

```php

onmouseover="richMedia(true);" onmouseout="richMedia(false);

```

Any ideas? 🙂
