I have created a little template for ebay product listing. It uses external data (xml) to show the gallery and a separate document (.txt file) to show the description. It works geart by itself, but once I put it into eBay it just shows the empty flash file (though it does show ‘undefined’ where the description should be). The funny thing is that it works great in Firefox. It’s only in IE6, whwere I get this issue.

This is what I used to embed the flash into the ebay page:

```auto
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="gallery" align="middle" height="800" width="650">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
<param name="movie" value="http://69.27.243.35/ebay/f5520/gallery.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff">
<embed src="http://69.27.243.35/ebay/f5520/gallery.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="gallery" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" height="800" width="650">
</object>

```

Anyone have any suggestion to this? I’ve even tried adding a corssdomain.xml to my site, but it still didn’t work. Just shows the empty flash “skeleton” with no data.
