Embedded Flash file not working in Safari/Firefox - HTML Forums

You may have seen this question before, but I cannot for the life of me find an answer that works.

I embedded a .swf flash file on a page on my website. This flash plays perfectly on IE and Chrome, but nothing shows up on Safari or Firefox.

I, at first, wrote the code by hand. Then I instead used swfobject to properly write the code (this still hasn't fixed the problem)

I used the w3 markup validation site to check the code, and it comes back with 0 errors.

Any Ideas?

The code is below:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="posthink.swf"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.registerObject("myFlashContent", "9.0.0");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<object classid="clsid: D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400" id="myFlashContent">
<param name="movie" value="posthink.swf" />
</object>
</div>
</body>
</html>

(I inserted a space in the classid= tag to do away with the : D turning into a smiley)

Thanks for your help.

any ideas? I'll take any shots in the dark. I've posted on a few forums and it seems this question doesn't have an answer.

thanks
