swf file plays in Internet explorer and chrome but not Safari or Firefox

Hi everyone

 

PROBLEM: I've inserted a video as a swf file in my webpage using Dreamweaver CS5's Insert/Media/swf function. It plays fine in Internext explorer and chrome but in Firefox or Safari the video does not play, instead a white box sits where the video should be.

- I can view flash files in other websites using these browsers and everything is up to date.

- I have seen people mention a different "object code" that works but cannot figure out what to do exactly as I just keep making a mess with the same outcome when I fiddle with the current code.

 

WEBPAGE IN QUESTION: www.cascadepictures.co.uk/reel

 

DREAMWEAVER CODE:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="635" height="264" id="DemoReel" title="demoreel">

              <param name="movie" value="videos/DemoReel.swf" />

              <param name="quality" value="high" />

              <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

              <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />

              <param name="expressinstall" value="scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

              <param name="LOOP" value="false" />

              <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />

              <param name="skinAutoHide" value="true" />

              <param name="PLAY" value="false" />

              <!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->

              <!--[if !IE]>-->

              <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="videos/DemoReel.swf" width="635" height="264">

                <!--<![endif]-->

                <param name="quality" value="high" />

                <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

                <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />

                <param name="expressinstall" value="scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

                <param name="LOOP" value="false" />

                <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />

                <param name="skinAutoHide" value="true" />

                <param name="PLAY" value="false" />

                <div>

                </div>

                <!--[if !IE]>-->

              </object>

              <!--<![endif]-->

            </object>

 

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
