Folks, hope someone may help me out on this one …

I have a audioplayer like this …

[size=1]\<OBJECT classid=“clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” codebase="[/size][[size=1]http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0[/size]](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0)[size=1]" WIDTH=“585” HEIGHT=“307” id=“flashmovie” name=“flashmovie”\>  
\<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=“pop/hotsite.swf?cd=\<%=cd%\>”\>  
\<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false\>  
\<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=best\>  
\<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#EEEEEE\>  
\<EMBED id=“flashmovie” name=“flashmovie” src=“pop/hotsite.swf?cd=\<%=cd%\>” menu=“false” quality=best bgcolor=#EEEEEE WIDTH=“585” HEIGHT=“307” TYPE=“application/x-shockwave-flash” PLUGINSPAGE="[/size][[size=1]http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer[/size]](http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer)[size=1]"\>  
\</EMBED\>  
\</OBJECT\>[/size]

And a IFRAME on same file forces the Flash to reload on a new CD code …  
[size=1]\<script language=“JavaScript”\>  
function mpb(cod) {  
parent.document.flashmovie.movie = “pop/hotsite.swf?cd=”+cod;  
parent.window.scrollTo(0,0);  
}  
\</script\>[/size]

[size=1]\<a href=“javascript:mpb(15)” class=“top-nav”\>Click\</a\>[/size]

The problem is on Windows works perfectly but no good for Mac … it doesn’t seem to recognize the Flash object …

Grateful for ANY help.
