How to insert a flash .swf file into web page?

• I am using the following basic code to insert a flash .swf file into my site: www.street.com.sg, <object> <embed src="streetdirectory.swf" width="550" height="400" /> </object> However, it can be displayed very fast at Firefox, but I need to wait for quite long for it being displayed at IE. Does anybody know how to display it fast at IE? If I use the following code, <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-4… codebase="http://download.macromedia.c… cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,… width="468" height="60" id="mymoviename"> <param name="movie" value="streetdirectory.swf" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /> <embed src="streetdirectory.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="468" height="60" name="mymoviename" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com… </embed> </object> what is the meaning of classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-4… Can I change classid to other value? THANKS!

• Answer:

  IE can be up to 150 times slower than Firefox - it's not your site's problem, it's Microsoft's problem. (The biggest bear in the woods eats where he wants.) If you insist on making sites that work with every bug that IE comes out with, make sure that your medical insurance covers psychiatric care, for when you lose your mind. (Hair transplants might be another thing you should have covered.)
