[SWFObject] detection script issue with Flash 9.0.16 and IE 6.0.2900

[Rick Chasin]

Let me be specific about this issue. The problems are all occurring in a 
corporate environment, where all pc's are controlled by the IT dept and 
have a standard load. Perhaps they have blocked javascript somehow in 
this instance, although the player works fine once they get in the 
application. In my own case, it may be solved with an uninstall of the 
player. I haven't had time today to try that yet.
