So I needed to embed some flash files for the boss, but my old script was no longer working for IE8/9 (didn’t test on 7, since who uses that anyway?) Firefox and Chrome were working just fine. Argh.

<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' width='300' height='300' id='player1' name='player1'>
   <param name='movie' value='player.swf'>
   <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'>
   <param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'>
   <param name='flashvars' value='file=playlist.xml'>
   <embed id='player1'
          name='player1'
          src='player.swf'
          width='300'
          height='300'
          allowscriptaccess='always'
          allowfullscreen='true'
          flashvars="file=playlist.xml"
   />
</object>

So I went ahead and found that code. I ended up using WinFF to convert an m4v file to a web-based flv, then I used the jwplayer as my swf, and file=filename.flv as my flv.
