I'm new to CoffeeCup and Flash, and so far I'm in love with you guys. However, after creating a couple quick Flash movies for Crypticon Seattle, I've found that they do not display properly in IE but look great in Firefox. We've tested it on two machines so far, and they both have the same problem--IE sucks and Firefox rocks.

Currently, I have the page up in a test location, but we're antsy to get the whole thing live. Any help is greatly appreciated.

HI optycal,
your current code reads like this
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
ID=logo WIDTH=900 HEIGHT=99>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="logo.swf" />
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high />
<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false />
<EMBED src="http://www.crypticonseattle.com/2010/flash/logo.swf" loop=false quality=high
WIDTH=900 HEIGHT=99 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

it should read like this:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
ID=logo WIDTH=900 HEIGHT=99>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="http://www.crypticonseattle.com/2010/flash/logo.swf" />
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high />
<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false />
<EMBED src="http://www.crypticonseattle.com/2010/flash/logo.swf" loop=false quality=high
WIDTH=900 HEIGHT=99 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

Hi Reuel,
did you go to settings>add files> then add the swf file into VSD? if you did this you should also be able to preview it. :) "It's A Smart Person That Asks"
