Flash header isn't working in IE but works in Firefox

Hi All,

I've tried two different methods that have been posted here in the forums to install a flash header. As a matter of a fact, I got one of these to work on another site I did months back. But this time, I can't seem to get it to work in IE. I looked at it in Firefox and I'm able to see my flash movie.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I've redone it at least 3 or 4 times trying different methods, but I've run out of ideas.

If you would like to take a look: http://www.airdrivenmusic.com. I'm still working on the rest of the design template.

If someone has some ideas for a solution, please post a reply.

I used the swfobject that was mentioned here sometime back.

Thanks for any help.

You might try increasing the height of #logoWrapper in the stylesheet.

You don't have a height now, so maybe height:125px;

Looks like you used a old version of swfObject or didn't code it right. the results are a incomplete flash coding that may work with firefox but not IE. Try version 2, works for me.

http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/downloads/list

looks like 2.1 is the newest, also has good info on use.
