flash/javascript not working in internet explorer

[EternityEight]

Hey Guys,

Working on a little childrens game as a uni project, its a little google maps app with some custom markers on.

works fine on firefox
works fine on opera
works fine on chrome
works fine on i.e with scripting disabled (i.e fall into the noscript block)
doesnt work on i.e with scripting enabled

Anybody run into this problem before? or can see something obvious im missing?

Thanks,

Pete

heres the intereresting bit of the code, or get it straight off the site @ http://www.eightyeightgames.com/Wanstead

if ( hasProductInstall && !hasRequestedVersion ) {
	// DO NOT MODIFY THE FOLLOWING FOUR LINES
	// Location visited after installation is complete if installation is required
	var MMPlayerType = (isIE == true) ? "ActiveX" : "PlugIn";
	var MMredirectURL = window.location;
    document.title = document.title.slice(0, 47) + " - Flash Player Installation";
    var MMdoctitle = document.title;

	AC_FL_RunContent(
		"src", "playerProductInstall",
		"FlashVars", "MMredirectURL="+MMredirectURL+'&MMplayerType='+MMPlayerType+'&MMdoctitle='+MMdoctitle+"",

		"allowScriptAccess","sameDomain",
		"type", "application/x-shockwave-flash",
		"pluginspage", "http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"
	);
} else if (hasRequestedVersion) {
	// if we've detected an acceptable version
	// embed the Flash Content SWF when all tests are passed
	AC_FL_RunContent(

	);
  } else {  // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
    var alternateContent = 'Alternate HTML content should be placed here. '
  	+ 'This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. '
   	+ '<a href=http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash/>Get Flash</a>';
    document.write(alternateContent);  // insert non-flash content
  }

Don't forget the EOLAS thing that means without Javascript, in IE flash objects have to be clicked to activate them.

I've chopped out the proper stuff now and made the failback noscript code the primary code and deleted the rest

I cant tell a difference so it seems good, I've updated the main page and it works fine now.

I've left the original at http://www.eightyeightgames.com/Wanstead/oldindex.html if anybody still wants to take a look
