I am having trouble with swf files not fully loading in multiple web pages.
In the newest version of IE7, all seems to work. In a different version number of IE7 on a different computer there are issues. The flash movie does not load text. In another the movie fades in the first few frames and then stops.

So, I have encountered this problem in IE 7 and in a Windows virtual machine version of IE6. Initially I attributed this bug to using swfobject. I then took out swfobject.js and instead used the embed object method for placing flash. This seemed to fix some other flash loading problems I encountered but there are still two movies that display the problems I noted above.

The pages are: markets
(does not display text in colored blocks in IE6 (VM) and IE7.0.5730.11 but does display them in IE7.0.5730.13!)

and directions
(movie does not fully load; only first few frames display in IE6 (VM) and IE7...11)

Firefox and Safari display fine.

Has anyone encountered a problem like this before?

thanks.
