Swfobject fails on Internet Explorer 8 and Windows Vista 64bit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. the dynamic embedding isn't working on internet explorer 8 and windows vista 
64bit. i didn't 
text it with ie7 but it probabyl won't work too.

i thought that issue was resolved long time ago. but probably it is still 
present and especially in 
windows 7 too: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/issues/detail?id=1

I see this failure also when creating a .NET WebBrowser control that points to 
a page
that dynamically embeds Flash content.

I have same problem (win7 IE 8, working fine in firefox and chrome).  Tried 
adding random variable in parameter but it still wont call for new data on 
refresh.  Anyone found solution to this yet?

I am using open flash chart for it. Did you find solution to this (considering 
this is old thread, I am hoping you did!)

Here is my snippet:
swfobject.embedSWF(
            "open-flash-chart.swf", "bar_chart", "100%", "100%",
            "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf",{ "data-file":"controlservlet?cmd=getChartData%26type=bar%26docType=<%=docType%>%26rnd=<%=System.currentTimeMillis()%>"});

Thanks,
Ravish

Do you have the same problem(s) when embedding using something other than 
SWFObject's dynamic publishing?

Please try it with static publishing and with the <object><embed> technique and 
let us know if it makes a difference.

I suspect there's a problem with the 64-bit Flash Player plugin for IE, because 
(to my knowledge) this issue has not been reported with 32-bit IE.

I'm closing this issue -- we have a number of similar bug reports referring to 
64-bit IE -- but if you have additional information, please feel free to submit 
it, esp if you get a chance to try embedding using alternate techniques. Thanks
