I'm in the process of creating a site that has a built in flash gallery (some of you may know this).

Link to flash gallery people: http://www.airtightinteractive.com/simpleviewer/

I'm stuck at a really annoying point. The page loads fine and the flash gallery loads, but the gallery doesn't then run. It only runs when you move the mouse over it. It would obviously be nice for it to run as the page opens or just after the page has loaded, either way.

Can't think as to what the problem is and searching doesn't seem to have helped at all. I've even copied all of the code from the original files given by the Simple Viewer people and it still doesn't work. Strange.

Would really like some help, and suggestions, however basic or whatever are very welcome, want this to get finished and this is holding me back!

Thanks. Code follows.

Ok after a little more testing it seems very happy to load in Firefox automatically, but not in IE. So, narrowing down the search a little, anyone know of the differences between the way the two browsers handle flash objects?

I think,but don't hold me to it,that IE blocks flash.Cause I have the same problem with mine.If I want to run something with Flash,I'm better off using Foxfire,cause trying to go through IE is like pulling nails out :crazy:
 
Yeah but that's no use if i'm making a site for a wide audience where the majority use IE.

Thanks for your suggestion though :)
