My flash slideshow embed with Iframed is working perfectly on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera... But! is not working on IE... it does not run and it crashes the browser.

Fast answer...nobody has a clue about IE anymore.

;)

Thanks Vaska for your quick respond.
I really hate IE, there is allways something with this browser.
The problem is that I need this thing to work on IE, this site will be for a corporation... and as you know the are IE fanatics... the don't want to use any other browser.
Any code or place I should start looking to fix this?
Hey, I will duplicate my donation or fee... that's no problem!
thanks again

it doesn't work without iframe either.

I've got a slightly adapted iframe code, would you mind testing? I framed your website on this test page: test page

Does it still freeze in IE, I'm guessing 8?
Here on IE7, your flash file looks like this:

Hi thinkround,
...and thanks for your quick respond.
I just open your test page with my SWF slideshow file on IE 8.0 and is running perfectly... I think you just save my life!!.
Tell me what to do to make my SWF file run like yours on IE 8.0
Thanks a lot!!

thinkround,
Here you have a screen capture of your test page on IE 8.0 running on Win7. Do you think that your code will work on IE 6.0, unfortunately this is the browser more used by my client.
Thanks

Hi xmar,

1. What I did is I reduced the height of the frame by 2px in the iframed plugin, line 20 I think :
2. ¬†¬†¬†¬†frame_y = $('#menu').height()<strong>-2</strong>;

It might just work after you add -2 to the line. If not, have a look at all the other things I changed here. You can copy this code to replace the original iframed code in /ndxz-studio/site/plugin/plugin.ndxz_iframed.php of your installation to get the same setup as I have.

Good luck! Unfortunately I don't have IE6 here, so can't tell you, but I think it might just work!

ps. Your flash embed looks like the screenshot I posted earlier (did I tell that it's blinking like mad as well?) if you are using flash player 6 that XP ships with. I updated to version 10 (which I had installed on Firefox already) and it looks like intended.

Cheers, Michael

Hi thinkround,
Finally everything work great!
I used your entire Iframed script and it work like a charm!
It worked on IE 6.0 on Windows XP SP2, nothing can be older than that!
Is also working on Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and Safari on the PC, Mac and Linux (mint 7.0 distro)
It did not work with Flash 6.0, I am using flash 10.
Thanks a lot thinkround !!
you save my life.

cheers! no worries at all :-)

Vaska, what do you think? Would you like to add -2 to the height of the iframe so it doesn't freeze anymore for people with IE8? Might help a lot of peopl!

;-)

thinkround,
I added your entire code script from your link, adding the -2 value only did not worked.
Just to clarify this and for the record.
Thanks again.

Oh okay, cheers!

hey thinkround thanks for this fix! I had out of the box clean indexhibit and clean WordPress in an Iframe, but it would crash IE all the time.

This fixed it! Maybe it should be an update to the released code?
