I think your !IE syntax is incorrect which maybe causing it to fail. Theres a extra > which I don't think should be there. For including flash cross browser I normally prefer to use SWFObject (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/) which handles the cross browser compatibility.

Hey guys,

I did some work on getting flash to work on a site for x-browser support and came across this method. which means the whole thing can be simplified as an this example used on one of my sites:

Essentially replace classid with type="application/x-shockwave-flash". It's tested on Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome & IE6+ and I think you'll agree it's a lot simpler!

Hope that helps
