Flash doesnt show up until mouse over on ie. How to fix that?

Question

Hi, I developed something in flex. It works great on FF and Safari. But on IE the "swf area" remains blank until mouse moves over it. I am embedding it like that:

<object height="100%" width="100%" id="myApp">
<param value="example.swf" name="movie"/>
<param value="high" name="quality"/>
<param value="opaque" name="wmode"/>
<param value="always" name="allowScriptAccess"/>
<param value="true" name="allowFullScreen"/>
<embed height="100%" width="100%" wmode="opaque" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" name="myApp" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" src="example.swf"/>
</object>

What can I do? I dont want to use javascript for it, because I need to easily copy/paste my "embedding code" on other webpages. Any suggestion?

Answer 1

Is your flash player in explorer updated?

Answer 2

See here: http://f-source.com/flash/fix/ It's not a bug it's a feature

Answer 3

If you call focus on the swf object after the page loads like so:

document.getElementById('SWFObject').focus();

It should fix this problem. However this isn't a perfect solution because I am currently having an issue with a page where I have 2 Flex apps embedded on it, and calling focus on both isn't fixing the issue.
