[SWFObject] Flash objects not clickable in IE, but OK in FF

Sorry, I need to correct my question a little.
Actually the swf's links work in IE and FF on some computers, but not on
others. (I only have FF, so when I tried on another computer with IE and it
did not work, I though IE was the problem).
I cannot figure out why some computers will work, and some not. I assume it
must be browser settings, but I have set all the browser's the same as far
as I can tell. I have turned off pop-up blockers, made sure the swfs target
"_self" etc..
But it still seems that in over 50% of computers, in either IE or FF, these
swfs will not register the user's click.
What could it possibly be?
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan.
The links don't work for me in any browser. (IE6 or FF2). Do they work with
a standard object/embed insertion method?
BTW - you seem to be targeting the top frame in your links. This isn't
required if you don't have frames / just want to use the current browser
window. You can either leave out the 2nd param entirely, or specify "_self".
clicker.onRelease = function () {
getURL ("http://www.languagesystems.com", "_top");
};
Cheers,
Aran

Hello,
I have a simple page www.freeenglishtest.net
<http://www.freeenglishtest.net/>
At the mid-bottom of the page are two flash swf's embedded with swfobject.
In FF they are clickable, and if you click you will go to the website which
the swf is advertising.
In IE nothing happens. You click, nothing.
The swf's are really simple. Each has a button instance "clicker_btn". The
actionScript is typical: "clicker_btn.onRelease = function ()
{getURL(http://www.f1visa.org);}". And, it all works in FF!
I am sure that I am being a moron, but what am I missing?
Thanks,
Ryan
