flash content don't work in IE7

[Tsakali]

without user intervention that is...I'm speechless

[Big Kahuna Burger]

You mean that you have to click once to active the plugin? Been like that for a year or so, and it's like that in IE6 as well. Was introduced in a security update by Microsoft some time ago. The same goes for Java applets as well by the way.

[MKJ]

indeed. check adobe for SWFObject.js.
its also the only valid way to embed, nowadays.

[Tsakali]

I knew about that but since I installed vista lately I noticed that it doesn't even give me the option to activate it just gives me a broken img link
I personally cannot get ie 7 to display any flash ...
lol?

[MKJ]

must mean you suck then.

if you still needed the activationclick you didnt embed it properly in the first place.

[Tsakali]

this is not about my flash files... nothing 'flash' is working example: youtube

I can't seem to get around the issue in ie7
I tried enabling video and animation etc. under the security tab...nothing

[creep]

you and SoM should get together and remake Dumb and Dumber. I see a lot of potential.

Maybe you should visit this page first then

[Tsakali]

that's done already ...but just in case I gave it another shot but no go.

[MKJ]

ah. what could help is to locate the flashplugin and delete it manually, then getting a fresh flash plugin from adobe.com.

[Tsakali]

this thread is turning into t&t but overall I wanted to congratulate microsoft on their homo tendencies to shove things up peoples asses

[creep]

Can you get flash content in Mozilla based browsers?

If not, shut the fuck up your ass with things shoved in it.

[MKJ]

right. T&T, nurdz

Are you using the 64 bit or 32 bit version of IE? I had the same problem with the 64 bit version about 6 months ago and at the time there wasn't a properly working version of Flash for it. Not sure if thats been fixed yet though.

[Scourge]

No it hasn't.

yeah I'm running 64 ... not sure if there is a diff. between 32 -64 but for a 2 gig system it's very impressive.
I can safely say, I wouldn't go back to xp (unless I want to game which is ok cause I'm dual booting ).

ps
firefox works, why shouldn't it? that's what real programs do...work

The OS is fine, its the browser that's the problem. On 64 bit Vista there are two versions of IE, 32 and 64 bit. 32 bit works fine with Flash but 64 bit doesn't display Flash correctly since Adobe hasn't bothered to write a working 64 bit version of the software for it yet. Hopefully they will soon.

[Scourge]

Yes, Adobe is dropping the ball on this one.

[Tsakali]

it's been a few days and I still can't tell if you're being sarcastic.

[Scourge]

Me? No. On Adobe's site they even say they don't have a version that works with 64 bit browsers yet.
