Flash Movie does not play in IE when using ssl

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. deploy software together with a SSL certifcate (https)
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the Flash movie play. Instead a white block appears where the 
flash movie has been embedded and when you right click on it, it says "movie 
not loaded"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SWFObject 2.2 Development on windows, deployment on Linux.

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem only occurs when I deploy the software with a SSL certificate. The 
problem is specific to IE as it works on Firefox even when deployed with the 
SSL certificate.

There are plenty of site (including ones I have worked on directly) on which IE 
+ SSL + SWFObject are working.

There is nothing in the SWFObject library which would affect the ability to 
display a swf under SSL. 

I suggest you have a look at your server logs or get a http traffic analyser 
like Charles or Service Capture.

Hi, I am having the same problem ONLY with IE 8 (not with firefox), only when 
using SSL (https) and for example the JS is on another DOMAIN, for example:
http://subdomain.domain.com/swfobject.js
https://domain.com/index.php where the flash file should appear
It says all the time that I need to install flash player as it is not 
recognized, and I have already installed latest version on IE 8.

so remember you need to deliver all of the assets on the page under SSL, 
otherwise you will get mixed content warnings etc.

Also, unless you have a cert for subdomain or a wildcard cert, then you are 
going to run into issues too...

Please check the following link. The headers are crucial with IE, the other 
browsers does not seem to care.

I had the same problem, but after adding "Cache-Control: no-store", my swf 
plays fine in IE8 under SSL.
