Flash Movie Not Loaded in IE6

I have a .swf file that I try to browse to and it loads fine in Firefox, but in IE6 it doesn't load. When right-clicking it says "movie not loaded".

Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. Just copy and paste the code below inside your tag (tested in Firefox, IE6, IE7, IE8):

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"       codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="750" height="500">
   <param name=movie value="../FolderName/FlashFile.swf">
   <param name=quality value=high>
   <embed src="../FolderName/FlashFile.swf" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="750" height="500"></embed> 
</object>

The actual problem was the application uses SSL with client authentication and there is a strange issue where when loading the application in IE it wasn't filling out a certain header in the HTTP request, so I had to use a custom servlet filter which inserted the header.

A really really easy way to publish flash to HTML is simply hitting F12 key in Flash. This will publish the SWF on a blank HTML page. This no-brainer technique will work seamlessly on all browsers.

Otherwise, for cleaner implementation, i recommend swfObject (see Jarret Hardie's link above).

Make sure the OBJECT element has a child PARAMETER elememt named movie and an attribute called data that both point to your SWF file.

Can you post the html you're using to embed the move in the page?

I have to admit, though, that I find all the nuances of embedding flash to be a headache. I can never remember them all, so I rely on this project to handle all the browser variations for me: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/. You might find that using swfobject helps make the problem "just go away" :-) Their docs also have some 'non-javascript' fallbacks if you need that.
