Flash not working in IE9

[echoshack]

Hi T.J.

Thanks for your reply. The "jmedia.js," script that Fusion uses is a 3rd party Open Source renamed if you view the script file and go to authors site then you will find a much later version. If this will fix the issue I do not know but it does support later Media types such as Silverlight.

I was going to upgrade to Fusion 12 but have held off. Last time I upgraded to 11 a few weeks later 12 was out with no free update so I felt ripped off. So I will just wait to see what happens. I moved most of my sites to WordPress so I do not really need to upgrade. But it is a good product for some to use.

Anyway thanks for your effort and the <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=IE8" /> workaround must try that in Fusion 11.

Hi echoshack,

I did as you suggested and downloaded the most updated jquery.media.js renamed it to jmedia.js and uploaded it to the web server. It does seem to fix the issue with no side effects. So I placed it into C:\Program Files\NetObjects\NetObjects Fusion 12.0\NetObjects System\Resources\js\external\jquery\plugins folder so I wouldn't have to update every page manually every time fusion replaced it on the server with a publish.

Thanks for the help,
T.J.

Hi T.J.

Thanks for trying it out I have so many other things on the go that I would have got round to it one day! I will follow your lead and give Fusion 11 a try.

Have you tried using transparent wmode with the updated version of jmedia.js? When I did I noticed that things were not transparent at all, they were sitting on white backgrounds. I modified jmedia.js to work with NetObjects and still support transparent wmode. I only have NetObjects 11 to test it though. Not sure if it works for 12.

Woohoo I fixed it!

Full cudos and creds to tjm0214 and echoshack.

Big version jumps -
jquery v1.3.2 (2009) to v1.6.1 (2011)
jmedia 0.70 (2007) to 0.96 (2011)

Following their clever guidance I went to the following locations (see below), found the relevant files, renamed them, placed them in
C:\Program Files (x86)\NetObjects\NetObjects Fusion 12.0\NetObjects System\Resources\js\external\jquery\
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\NetObjects\NetObjects Fusion 12.0\NetObjects System\Resources\js\external\jquery\plugins
respectively

Not sure if I should have done the new version of jquery.js as well but it concerns me that NetObjects are using such an old code base.

Doesn't this seem a little slack?

Anyway after republishing my Flash is NOW working in IE9
Just hope I haven't broken anything else as this is all technically beyond me.

Here are the offending and replacemnet file details for those of you'd who like step by step instructions on how to fix.

Important to note the IE9 is an automatic update so NetObjects really should pick their game up.
