[SWFObject] Problems with Display of SWFObject/Zoomify Imagery in MSIE 6

[Derek Tonn]

Hello everyone!

Say, I've been working through some of the SWFObject issues 
tonight....trying to finally convert my code on several web pages to 
avoid the issue of having to click on a Flash object for it to 
"activate" on a page in MSIE, when I've encountered an issue that has 
stopped me in my tracks.  I am using the following code:

<div id="flashcontent">Alternative text is being displayed in place of 
an interactive Flash-based portfolio sample of this particular 
graphic.</div>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	var so = new SWFObject
	("../images/zoom/zoomifyViewer02.swf", "portfolio", "700", "450", "6", 
"#A7A690");
	so.addVariable("zoomifyImagePath", "../temp/calvin3D/");
	so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
	so.addParam("menu", "false");
	so.write ("flashcontent");
	</script>

...after calling on the .js file in the header: <script 
type="text/javascript" src="../templates/scripts/swfobject.js"></script>

Everything looks A-OK in Firefox....but when I launch MSIE 6 (on a PC), 
I see the zoomifyViewer02.swf background image...but Internet Explorer 
is not launching the variable image path.  I've tried a number of 
different work-arounds, but finally decided that someone who is more 
savvy than I might read this message and be able to suggest a quick 
solution.

A "live" page which will illustrated the problem I am describing can be 
found at: http://www.mapformation.com/temp/calvin3D.htm  Looks great in 
Firefox, but MSIE 6 malfunctions.  Help!

Thanks in advance.
