Hello all,

I have an html file in the same directory as my .swf. When i run it in FireFox is runs perfectly, but when i do the same in IE it does not.

I checked out the code, and the embed src and param tags are the same yet it still does not work. So something is wrong with the tags IE reads as opposed to the Firefox tags. I used dreamweaver 8 for this part.

\<object classid=“clsid:166B1BCA-3F9C-11CF-8075-444553540000” codebase=“[http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=8,5,0,0](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/director/sw.cab#version=8,5,0,0)” width=“600” height=“750”\>  
\<param name=“src” value=“exterior.swf” /\>  
\<embed src=“exterior.swf” pluginspage=“[http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/](http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/)” width=“600” height=“750”\>\</embed\>  
\</object\>

Any ideas?
