Solutions?

A: 

Works fine here in mac/safari 4.0.3.

However I do notice one thing - your flashvars for the object and param bits don't match up. They should be the same.

Also, you make want to look into a more flexible embedding solution such as SWFObject (it helps you do player detection and will let your document validate as XHTML as well)

can you be more specific about the object and param bits not matching up?

also, it seems like the swf object is being called in the javascript, am i missing something?

Hmm, looking at it more, something seems really goofy there. Usually you have an object tag and an embed tag - you seem to have two object tags. The two object tags have different values set for the flashvars parameter. You really should look at SWFObject - yes, it does use javascript to do the embedding for you. You just create an empty div (well, it often contains a "you need to get flash" message) and then write a tiny bit of JS to populate that div with the proper embedding code. It's the easiest and most robust way of embedding Flash out there.

Use the script found here, http://www.walkernews.net/2008/01/11/how-to-embed-flv-flash-in-wordpress-or-html/, with new player. It works in IE. I've also added allowfullscreen="true" allowsscriptaccess="always" after the size parameters. Plays in IE but no full screen. Help with this if you can please.
