I just converted a Flash version of a site to being completely dynamic with all the info and work being pulled from a database by ColdFusion files. It works great on all mac browsers and Mozilla on a PC. I just checked IE which I never use and found that it's not loading any of my content.
???Anyone have a clue?

I dont really want to show it yet. All it is is a Flash site with no content showing up because it's not loading.

that doesn't help the debug process at all
to help you understand how we're seeing your request, here is how it looks to us: "I've got this thang and it's not doing what i want. Any thoughts?"

flash version is different on for your IE browser?
Also check the way you are embedding your flash into the HTML file...ii think IE used the tag, mozilla, the tag.
So, drag your SWF direct into the browser and see if that works.

There's not much to debug from looking at it in a browser. Like aI said it's just a Flash page with no content. Looking at the CF pages themselves output the variables fine in IE.
I'm just wondering if there are any known issues. Nevermind.

heavyarms, I've done some of the same work, specifically here: http://www.cecity.com/cec/bone_h… where we take interactive work and connect it to a dB. Seems to work for us, what is the exact problem?

Very good points Mr T. Putting the swf directly in the browser did the exact same thing. I'm going to upgrade the IE player. Maybe it can't handle some of the newer techniques I am using well.

It is fundamental that you are running the correct version of the flash player to handle what you are doing.
I mean, there is no way that flash 6 or 7 stuff is going to work correctly with the flash 5 player.

What language did you use JazX?
It works now! The old player version was 6,0,22,0.
I upgraded it to 7,0,19,0.
I haven't added a browser check yet. Why would it let me open a v7 movie without the right plugin? I'm not sure what I was using that it couldn't handle. Maybe it's the stylesheet that loads in the Flash movie.

and stupid me in my previous post I was referring to the way IE uses the 'embed' tag, and Moz the 'object' tag.
Should have realsied that NT would gobble up my tags.

it will always let you open content, regardless of what version if was authored for....the swf format is open source...many devices/apps can wriet to the swf format.
the later player versions just have more under the hood.

Mr T, thanks. I never use IE so I didn't even think about it. I thought in previous versions, say if it was Flash 6 and you had a v5 plugin you would get an error and get sent to the plugins page.
