I seem to be having some troubles with showing a swf file using the syntax <swf file="videoplaylist.swf">.

I know the code is correct, as it displays in FF, Safari and in some instances of IE but i've found some instances of IE where it doesn't appear.

The URL is http://www.sonsofmaxwell.com/ and you should see a video player in the right hand side of the page container.

One Version i know for fact it isn't working is IE7 (7.0.6001.18000) on Vista.

This has me a bit stumped :(

I just tried it using IE7 / Vista and it's working ok for me - the player appeared and I can play the videos too. That suggests there might be a browser problem rather than a SWF Tools problem since the code itself is right (took a quick look at the source code and it all looks reasonable). I also tried FF and that's ok too.

Double check by clearing the browser cache, and make sure the browser has the latest flash plug-in.

I can't get the embedSWF() js to appear in the head of my rendered page using this module. swfobject.js is attached and I can see my non-flash content, but the js to embed the flash movie is not appearing. I intermittently get the "Could not display the flash because does not appear to exist." error, but I copy and paste the url into the address field and I can see the flash movie. I went to check my configuration and no settings are visible anywhere in SWFTools! I can see "Embedding Settings", "File Handling", etc., but there are no fields, links etc. on the pages, just empty divs where the forms should be. I guess I'm going to manually embed my swfs until this module works correctly.
