Question

I am using the following to embed a player but it seems in
some ie6 and on ie 5.5 its not working. It is fine in firefox and
in ie7 and 8 beta
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (AC_FL_RunContent == 0 || DetectFlashVer == 0) {
alert("This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js.");
} else {
var hasRightVersion = DetectFlashVer(requiredMajorVersion,
requiredMinorVersion, requiredRevision);
if(hasRightVersion) { // if we've detected an acceptable
version
// embed the flash movie
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase', '
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0',
'width', '550',
'height', '250',
'src', 'promoArea',
'quality', 'high',
'pluginspage', '
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'align', 'middle',
'play', 'true',
'loop', 'true',
'scale', 'showall',
'wmode', 'transparent',
'devicefont', 'false',
'id', 'promoArea',
'bgcolor', '#ffffff',
'name', 'promoArea',
'menu', 'true',
'allowScriptAccess','sameDomain',
'allowFullScreen','false',
'movie', 'promoArea',
'salign', ''
); //end AC code
} 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.macromedia.com/go/getflash/>Get
Flash</a>';
document.write(alternateContent); // insert non-flash
content
// -->
</script>
<noscript>
// Provide alternate content for browsers that do not
support scripting
// or for those that have scripting disabled.
Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content
requires the Adobe Flash Player.
<a href="

Hi Dhiraj,
When you click on the Log off button, do you see any yellow triangle icon (Something like warning) coming at the bottom left of the browser?
If so then you are experiencing a Javascript error with your browser. If you click on that icon a pop up should come up with the exact error.
If you get the error I mentioned I would recommend you to change the security settings of the browser to meduim or low.
Also if you go to internet properties->Security->Trusted Sites->Sites button,
You can try adding the URL of the Portal that you are using like :http://mysapportal
See if this works.
Thanks
Avik
