My apologies, this sort of being a crosspost, I found a similar mention in the Soundmanager2 module issues. Only I get the same error with SWF Tools and Soundmanager2. I'm having the exact same problem as posted here: https://drupal.org/node/914524 , resulting is the same error message posted above. It works great on Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera on Mac and Windows. But it just won't in Internet Explorer 7 and 8 (I don't test 6 anymore). This is the page: http://goo.gl/T7uEM

I'm not using the Soundmanager 2 module, but SWFtools with Soundmanager2 plugin. The Soundmanager2 demos on the owner's site work both in IE7 and IE8: http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/

So, if anyone has any suggestions or things i haven't tested yet, please let me know.

To those who care, I found a solution by changing the this.flashLoadTimeout setting in sites/all/libraries/soundmanager2/script/soundmanager2-nodebug-jsmin.js
from 1000 (or 1E3) to 0. This removes the limit in which the flash should be loaded before the script stops. So everything worked okay, Internet Explorer was just too slow, waiting for the flash file, then exceeded the limit and aborted the mission.

If I visit the demo page of soundmanager this is ok on IE8. So it should work! I don't understand. No error message display.

I think there is also an issue with the path of soundmanager.swf.

To have the module working with Internet explorer, I had to create a folder /content at the root on my drupal and copy the swf inside

Hello, I had similar problem.
But for me it was that there is not flash player active x installed on the computer, but the soundmanager2 was just quitely not working. The solution was to add the classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#vers..." attributes to the

tag which soundmanager2 is generating (inside the soundmanager2.js). Then the activeX can be installed properly and the soundmanager works.

OK so add the classid to the tag which soundmanager2 is generating (inside the soundmanager2.js)

I'm a teeny bit unclear. Where do you add the code? Is it somewhere in soundmanager2.js and if so, where.
