Flash Movie keeps looping in Explorer.

the Problem: All other browsers are fine but in Explorer ( checked in 7 & 8) the flash movie does not stop eventhough there is stop action placed in the movie. The problem is with Macromedia flash MX not generating the correct embed code.


The solultion:

the Flash MX generated code looks like this

< PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="images/flash/movie.swf" > < PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high > < PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF >
< EMBED src="images/flash/movie.swf" loop=false quality="high" bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="200" NAME="Movie" ALIGN=""
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" >< /EMBED >



I found that if I added this code before the < EMBED

< PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false >

then the loop would also stop in Explorer
