Semantic Flash code locking up IE

[dc dalton]

OK, I'm about as confused as I can be here. I have used this code on this person's site for years and not had a problem but on the new version it's locking up and or not displaying the Flash in IE 7 (6 too but that's a whole different story and I'm probably going to direct them to the old version of the site).

the code is this:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="songplayer-no-bg.swf" width="280" height="57">
  <param name="movie" value="songplayer.swf" />
  <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>

I used it on his old site design: http://leeritenour.com and it worked fine but in the new version being tested at http://imagedash.net/latest-news I get nadda, zippo and I can't see why.

Any ideas or is this because of the positioning I'm using (major tough layout)

Probably has something to do with the positioning. What I'd probably do is wrap a DIV around that and position it instead.
