Hello all;
I am trying to convert the embed() tag to object() for one of my websites so it will validate. At first, everything worked out except in IE (of course), where the embedded video (Flickr slideshow) wouldn't stream, so it would take way too long to load. I googled upon a fix for that at http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation, however now the slideshow works in IE but not in Firefox or Chrome. Here is my object code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649" />
<param name="flashvars" value="offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2F57294091%40N03%2Fsets%2F72157626343957151%2Fshow%2F&page_show_back_url= %2Fphotos%2F57294091%40N03%2Fsets%2F72157626343957151%2F&set_id=72157626343957151&jump_to=" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649">
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->
</object>
This can be seen implemented at http://www.tcnj.edu/~wclublax/pictures.php. I only did the first step at the swfobject page because it worked in IE and I tried continuing the steps but then it didn't work in any browser. Please help me out and let me know what I am doing wrong. Thanks!
