Flash player in thickbox doesn't work in IE [#214364]

I'm trying to make a thickbox flash movie player. Some test code I'm trying is below. This works in FF. Click the thumbnail and thickbox opens and plays the file. In IE I get 1002 error which I think is file not found. So in IE I think something is wrong with the src URL. The flash player loads so it must be ok to the ?. Also in FF the pngLogo is off as commanded. In IE it is still there so again the bit after the ? is wrong. The source in IE seems ok.

<h2>Thickbox  Video</h2>

<a href="#TB_inline?height=404&width=480&inlineId=hiddenModalContent" class="thickbox" title="INTRO"
><img src="http://frame.revver.com/frame/120x90/240545.jpg" /></a>
<div id="hiddenModalContent" style="display:none">
<script src="http://flash.revver.com/player/1.0/player.js?mediaId:181258;pngLogo:unbranded" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>

Any ideas what could be causing this? BTW the js flash src not wrapped in thickbox works ok in IE.

This is still definitely an issue.

For me, I am trying to load flash content into a view and load the view into a TBox. This works great in FFox but IE wont take it.

The flash doesn't even show until I leave IE and comeback!? I wonder if this might be a valid doc type issue?

It looks like I may have to embed the flash by hand for now. Though.

Please test the new Colorbox module and see it that works better.

I have ported all Thickbox features to Colorbox so it should work as a drop in replacement.

When Colorbox has a stable release I will start actively recommend people to switch/upgrade from Thickbox to Colorbox. I'm the maintainer of Thickbox and a co-maintainer of Colorbox.
