I've placed a few Flash banners on my site (www.elektroretailmagazine.nl) and they work ok in Chrome, Safari and Firefox, but they won't appear in Explorer. It has something to do with resizing, I think.
I use Administer for my banner management and the code I use is:
<code><OBJECT classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0" ID=banner WIDTH=180 HEIGHT=180> <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="LG.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=true> <EMBED src="http://www.elektroretailmagazine.nl/wp-content/uploads/LG.swf" loop=true quality=high TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"> </EMBED> </OBJECT> </code>
Any suggestions on how I can resize the banners automatically, especially when I make the layout fluid?

I just looked at the page source and it looks like the widget you are using is adding an extra </div> each time.
I was going to suggest trying adding a
HTML Code:
 style="width: 100%"
to the <div>

where did you get this widget?

Hi Juggledad,
I'm using Administer and I got it from the WP-site. What it does, is ask every time if I want to use the wrapper. I've unchecked the 'use wrapper boxes' now, but it doesn't seem to help much...

which banner doesn't appear? I'm comparing it in IE8 and Safari and they look the page looks the same. Can you specify the exact banner?

That's because I placed the ads now in a text widget, with the plugin SwfObj. This works fine, but has the limitation that I can't rotate the ads or count the clicks and impressions.
As soon as I use a plugin like Ad-Minister I can't use SwfObj anymore.
