[SWFObject] Somethings strange

[Chalcot Micro Systems]

Geoff,
 
Ran the uninstaller. Reinstalled. Same problems.
 
ANY site with flash does not display.
 
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ Above the text  'Start
Creating Now" is some flash content which I cannot see. My mouse turns to
Hand with text, 'click to activate this control' and a dotted border outling
area. I click and nothing.
 
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/expressinstall.html shows 'You need to
upgrade your Flash Player This is replaced by the Flash content. Place your
alternate content here and users .....' 
 
 <http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/flashversion.html>
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/flashversion.html shows ' 
You do not have the Flash plugin installed, or your browser does not support
Javascript (you should enable it, perhaps?) This page displays your current
Flash player version using Javascript.' Same page but using Firefox, 'You
have Flash player 8.0.24 installed.'
 
Javascript is enabled, just installed the flash player - again!
 
Have not seen IE7, used a plugin switcher or messed with OCX files (that I
am aware of)

I think every time I see a complaint about IE not working, the resolution is
always to run the adobe uninstaller and then reinstall clean the version of
flash player you want.


there are many ways it becomes corrupted, some of which include:

- installing and using IE7 and not reinstalling flash player (doesn't seem
to happen to everyone, not sure why that is)
- using plugin switcher (not sure if the newest version is fixed or not)
- otherwise messing with your installed flash plugins - moving .ocx files
without properly registering or unregistering them, etc. etc.

I have seen very few reports where end users have 'bad' flash player
installs, but it seems very rare and usually the people complaining are
developers who have done one of the above things.

if you want to see what version swfobject thinks you have installed, go to
the flashversion.html page and see what it says.

if you are sure that you haven't done any of the above, and still have
issues, i would love to hear more information about your system setup, like
what plugins you have installed, when you last updated any plugins
(especially fp), etc. etc.

"Updated my XP and all the sites i used this in turned for flash turned up
with nothing anymore"

I checked a couple of pages that I use swobject on (check for version 7, I
have version 8 installed) and all pages say I need to upgrade my flash
player.

Have Microsoft upgraded (and broke) something.
