None of the portfolio pages are loading in IE7.. /bike, /life, /other (links on the node when you click portfolio). The full source is there and it's not a hidden/css issue.

Any ideas?

I think you'll find that IE requires more than just 

<object data="http://pbmedia.us/portfolio/bike" type="text/html"/>

to embed Flash.
See the Flash docs, wizards, sample code etc for how to put flash into HTML.

from http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_inhtml.asp

Open the HTML page where you want to insert your Flash movie. Insert this code:

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

Note: This is the minimum code you need to embed a Flash movie in a browser. A broken icon will appear on the Web page if the user does not have the Flash plug-in installed.

Note: In the code above there is both an tag and an

tag. This is because the tag is recognized by Internet Explorer, and Netscape recognizes the tag and ignores the tag.

I'll try that then.. What I did was embed a page with the flash, styles, and other files. http://pbmedia.us/portfolio/bike/

Can you really not embed a page with IE7?

If so, why isn't the menu showing up?

The problem is simply IE7 and Objects... I have no idea why.

I have no idea why you thought 'object' would work. I haven't trusted them for years, and using them to substitute for iframe is cheeky.

But with Netscape and IE6 out the window ... there is a chance they can live again. And that would be cool.
Try some research and test cases. But you will be on the cutting edge of using this method of site building. :-}
It's just not that well supported (by experience or documentation)
... even though it MAY work.
