Hi,

I am trying to use swfObject in a Wordpress build I am doing, whilst I have my flash movie loaded in FF & Safari, it wont load in IE & Chrome. I have spend hours trying to work out why. Can anyone help me?

Here ia link to the page [http://broadhall.com/wordpress/](http://broadhall.com/wordpress/)

Here is my code:

```auto
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/js/swfobject.js"></script>
        
        
		<script type="text/javascript">
		

var flashvars = {};
                       var params = {};
                       var attributes = {};
                       attributes.id = "slideshow";
                       attributes.name = "slideshow";
                       swfobject.embedSWF("swf/slideshow.swf", "flashContent", "890", "455", "9.0.124", "js/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
		</script>

```

and

```auto
<div id="flashContent" style="height: 455px; width: 890px;">
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash">
<img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /></a>
<p>This page requires Flash Player version 9.0.124 or higher.</p>
		</div>

```

I am at the end of my tether!! Any help will be much appreciated.
