I have some video tutorial uploaded on my website. I tried it on FF and it worked perfectly but when I tried on IE, I did not get anything. I checked on google and after spending much time, I found the problem. I am explaining with example.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="banner"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
border="0" width="754" height="64">
<param name="movie" value="banner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<embed src="http://www.domain.com/video/banner.swf"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="banner"
width="754" height="64" quality="High">
</object>
Now IE uses param movie tag to download swf file and FF uses embed src tag to download swf. Now you realized why IE is not displaying flash object. Correct code would be
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="banner"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"
border="0" width="754" height="64">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.domain.com/video/banner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="High">
<embed src="http://www.domain.com/video/banner.swf"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
name="banner" width="754" height="64" quality="High">
</object>
Note
Due to some legal issues, IE had a “Click to Activate” restriction on swf and flash files. It requires the user to click on the control to load swf file. Above mentioned issue is different than this one. To learn more about the resolution visit http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html. It contains latest change and how to work around the IE restriction issue. (Thanks to Baljeet for bringing this issue up)

we can also use

Hi Vishal,
I am embedding some .swf file in my jsp something like what u mentioned.
I m posting my code which embeds the swf file.
<param name=”movie” value=”DAG.swf?pageOf=pageOfGetCount&view=AddLimit&isQuery=”/>
<embed src=”DAG.swf?pageOf=pageOfGetCount&view=AddLimit&isQuery=” quality=”high” bgcolor=”#869ca7″width=”100%” height=”100%” name=”DAG” align=”middle”
wmode=”transparent”
play=”true”
loop=”false”
quality=”high”
allowScriptAccess=”sameDomain”
type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”
pluginspage=”http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer”>
The problem i am facing on IE is that, corresponding swf is loaded only if i mouse over or click on portion on jsp where .swf file is embedded .
This is happening only on IE.
