Flash Gallery: Compatibility with Internet Explorer 7 & 8?

  • I downloaded the plugin and I am happy about how relatively easy it is to integrate into my blog and also how visually pleasing and simple it is.

    However I am stuck when testing it in Internet Explorer 7 & 8. The gallery does not show in these browsers. I have no problem in Chrome, Firefox, Safari & Opera.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • I have the same problem. I thought it was somewhere in my settings that caused it to not display in IE 7/8. However, when I went to the example site that was listed on the main page of the Plugin, it also does not work in IE 7/8.

    Please let us know if we can get this to work in IE. Thanks!

    Whoopsies! I can’t believe I let this one through!

    Please help out by filling in what versions of Flash Player and IE specifically causes problem.

    Flash Player 10.0.22.87, IE7: starts loading and placing thumbnails, and suddenly everything goes black. Flash log indicates that practically everything is undefined.

    Flash Player 10.0.22.87, IE6: same.

    Flash Player 10.0.22.87, IE8: Works perfectly. (though not in “compatibility mode”)

    If you want to help out, please try that link with various combinations of Flash Player and IE, and report here.

    I’m unable to work on this myself right now, but you guys feel free: full source (including FLA) is available from trunk.

    Hi there guys! Anybody with a solution for this problem?
    I am really really really MAD about FL, but it is not working on my IE either :(:(:(

    HEELPP!!

    Hello
    Is there any issue to this problem 2 months after ?
    Internet Explorer 6, 7 & 8 : the gallery does not show in these browsers. No problem in Chrome, Firefox, Safari & Opera.
    Thank’s for your help

    I have IE8 and my galleries load just fine – flash 10.0.32.18

    Hi guys, I thought I should chime in on this since I was facing this issue myself.

    I don’t think the problem is there at all, or at least, it’s not what it appears to be. From what I can tell, the error only appears if you’re testing your website locally (on your own computer) through Internet Explorer.

    It seems the newer versions of Internet Explorer have much more stringent security regarding activex controls and scripting running locally, so the SWFOBJECT library always chooses to display alternative content.

    So, if you upload Flash-Gallery to an online website, it should load just fine in Internet Explorer 8. If you want to get Flash-Gallery to load locally in Internet Explorer, you’ll have to go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Custom Level and set all of the “ActiveX controls and plug-ins” and “Scripting” settings to “Enable.” Then hit Apply -> OK and refresh your page, and you should be able to see it locally.

    One thing I did want to mention, though… I only tested in Internet Explorer 8, so I’m not sure if this might have been appearing in older versions of Internet Explorer. And I also upgraded the plugin’s SWFOBJECT and SWFADDRESS libraries, and reworked the PHP code to connect to them correctly, so I also can’t say if this might have caused some difference as well.

    Hope this helps, and I’m really grateful to Ulf Benjaminsson and Jerald Zhan for providing it.

    I’m on a 64-bit system and can’t get flash for IE. It would be great if you’d all try 1.3.1 in IE6 and IE7 and report here if the situation has been remedied or not.

    Thanks!

    @radiantzero – the new version 1.3.1 https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/flash-gallery/ – runs off the latest SWFObject and SWFAdress so you don’t have worry about upgrading and losing your edits.
