Hi,

Recently I had some issues with Flash in IE, involving a SWF which is something like a gallery.

In Firefox its loads perfectly, but in IE it doesn't work properly sometimes. The first time it is loaded its works fine but when I refresh all the images are blank. The image data came from XML.

I wish to get some tips regarding the browsers and Flash / SWF behavior in each.

Thanks in advance.

I've been looking for a solution to this for years, but nothing is conclusively documented. There are many Shoutcast Flash players out there (e.g. radio.de) so I know it's possible. However, most of my research leads to this: s = new Sound(); s.loadSound ("url.of.shoutcaststream:8003",true); Which… >>> More
