View Full Version : Sound stutter?

Hi all, I've got a flash movie at: http://www.terraceview.ca/dev/estates/

The sound sounds fine to me using Firefox 1.5, but when I load the page in IE6, it sounds like there is stuttering or something - the sound has a wierd counterbeat, almost as it has loaded twice and is offset by a second, or something. When I refresh the page in IE, same thing, but when I use the "replay" button at the end of the movie in IE, it plays the movie properly (with sound that seems to play as it should).

Can any of you Flash gurus help me out as to why this is happening?

Thanks,

I remember this having something to do with the object and embed tags. I would suggest using SWF Object (http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/) to embed your flash files in the page. This will have the added advantage of getting around the Eolas patent problems requiring IE users to click on your flash piece before being able to interact with it.

I already run some javascript that removes the Eolas patent issue for IE users. I'm looking at SWF Object, I just don't yet have the time to develop a non-flash version of the site. Is that really my only solution - I can't imagine?

Yeah, I never had much luck with ieUpdate.js. SWFObject has always worked. But, there's one more thing I see, there is no "body" tag in your HTML doc...?

Hey, you're right! Wow, how did that happen? I'm adding the body tag to my pages right now - it didn't fix my sound issue in IE, but thanks anyway!

BTW, is anyone else able to replicate my sound issue in IE (or other browsers)?
