Explorer doesn't show flash
I am currently having a real problem displaying flash files predominantly in Internet Explorer, in Firefox it is displaying fine. It's not even a run active content problem - it's just with one particular file which is 2.4MB - is that too big for IE or something>?

sounds like it could be - here's a test page which works fine in Firefox and Safari but not Internet Explorer (v 7.0 for me)
Flash Test Page
This is the JS file 'movie1.js' as referred to in the test page.
function RunMovie()
{
document.write('<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" id="FrameCount" width="400" height="550">\n');
document.write('<param name="FrameCount" value="FrameCount.swf">\n');
document.write('<param name="quality" value="high">\n');
document.write('<param name="wmode" value="transparent">\n');
document.write('<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" name="FrameCount" width="400" height="550" src="FrameCount.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" swliveconnect="true" allowscriptaccess="samedomain"></embed>\n');
document.write('</object>\n');
}
function getFlashMovieObject(FrameCount)
{
if (window.document[FrameCount])
{
return window.document[FrameCount];
}
if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")==-1)
{
if (document.embeds && document.embeds[FrameCount])
return document.embeds[FrameCount];
}
else // if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet")!=-1)
{
return document.getElementById(FrameCount);
}
}
function PlayFlashMovie()
{
var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("FrameCount");
flashMovie.Play();
}
function Frame5FlashMovie()
{
var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("FrameCount");
// 4 is the index of the property for _currentFrame
var currentFrame=flashMovie.TGetProperty("/", 4);
var Frame5=parseInt(currentFrame);
if (Frame5>=1)
Frame5=5;
flashMovie.GotoFrame(Frame5);
flashMovie.Play();
}
function Frame11FlashMovie()
{
var flashMovie=getFlashMovieObject("FrameCount");
// 10 is the index of the property for _currentFrame
var currentFrame=flashMovie.TGetProperty("/", 0);
var Frame11=parseInt(currentFrame);
if (Frame11>=0)
Frame11=10;
flashMovie.GotoFrame(Frame11);
flashMovie.Play();
}

Well, this is a toughie. Let's start with fixing the errors (no opening <body> etc..) Sending IE into Quirks mode while trying to run embed Flash JS code doesn't help.
After that try making your images as buttons:
<input type="button" src="blah blah> In IE I can't click the images, which can be part of the problem...

OK - I've done what you said.
test page
It doesn't seem to have done too much just yet. Also I think not being able to click the images was because you couldn't see the effect as there was no flash displaying. But anymore advice please feel free.

Well I watched the swf so I know what it is supposed to do... I am still getting a JS error (undefined) when I test in IE... Will look closer at your JS in a little bit.
