Is this something to do with the cross-domain issue?
How can i solve this?
If you go to the direct link of the flash player, does it work? Does the flash come up? Have you asked for permission to embed their flash? If so, they can probably provide you with some help regarding this :).
I’d have to see it live on a real site instead of some hypothetical one in order to dial in the problem – most likely with more code and the full object embed. Are you sure you edited BOTH objects since your example code is IE only? Are you sure on the original location it’s being served from the root directory?
Oh wait, gallery.swf – is that flash file smart enough to redirect itself to the other domain, or does it assume the files are local to the current HTTP home. that could be it right there. If that’s trying to call other files (like say images) it’s going to assume those files locations are relative NOT to where the SWF is located, but to where it’s being loaded (the html file’s location) – Part of why using flash for something like a gallery is generally a steaming pile of…
Well, I say that in general about using flash for anything more than video or games… If that’s for a normal website gallery type element, welcome to why that for the most part has gone the way of the Dodo alongside flash banners, flash navigation, and all the other flashtard nonsense that proved there’s a reason it’s called flash…
