My .swf file doesn't work in IE7 browser.

[Srihari_Ch]

Hi all,

          I don't have an idea about Flash & ActionScript 3.0. Please help me regarding this issue.

          Suppose, I have created a simple flash application(say, Test1.fla & Test1.swf file has been generated and works fine). Now, I need to use this swf file in my Java application as son as a menu-item is selected/gets clicked by the user.

          But, when I run my whole application in IE7 browser window, If I select the Flash menuitem by clicking on it, then no flash file[viz., contents of Test1.swf file] gets visible. Instead a blank page without any conents is displlayed. In addition to this, it don't/doesn't display any message like this:

        " Install Flash Player to view the contents of swf file you need."

                                      (OR)

     IE 7 don't pop out any message that install flash.

     I spent through search for a solution for this issue for 2 hours. But, I still won't find any solution.

     Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     Please, experts spend 2 minutes of valuable time in filling a post & reply to this thread, so that you will be filling the gaps in my work with your replies.

I wil be waiting for your replies....

Thanks in advance,

          Yes, it is getting visible in Mozilla Firefox 1.x,2.x and upto 3.5 && IE-6 perfectly.

          But, it is not getting visible(invisible) in IE7.

Thanks,

What is the code that gets executed when the Flash item is selected from the list?

Also, if you right-click on the spot where the movie should be in the browser window, does it say "Movie not loaded.."???

Goto the following link using your IE7 browser:-

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Follow the instructions to install the Flash player and all should be well.

F.Bowman,

               Thanks for your valuable reply.

               Yes, you are right. It is the url for downloading and installing the Flash Player. By downloading it and installing this Flash Player, we can solve the issue.But, we don't chose that way. It is not the requirement.

               But, here, as soon as the application gets executed in the host system,Suppose, if we select the Flash menu-item, then there exists 2 cases:

1. If the Flash Player is already installed in the browser where my application gets executed, then it automaticaly supports .swf file and displaye its contents. Hence, no issue of displaying .swf contents in the browser window.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
2. If there is no Flash Player installed in the system. If he/she tried to execute the application in IE7 browser window, then, no flash contents[viz., swf file] is visible.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

          Here, my problem is: If my application status matches with situation that I described in Case-2[above], then, I need to show a box which must and should provide an option to the user who executes my application [on his browser window, where Flash plugin doesn't exist/not installed]

to install the "Flash Plug-in (or) Flash Player"  there itself [i.e.,  as soon as the Flash menu-item gets selected within my application].                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

     Please, anybody, help me regarding this issue by spending 2 minutes of your valuable time.

     It's urgent...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

     Thanks in advance...
