Embedded flash player is not showing up on IE

Hello there,
I hope im posting this in the right place. well here goes:

Im working on a flash audio player for a client’s website. however, the music files have to be on another server since the website’s hosting package cant support additional files.
So i have uploaded some files and placed the embed code on the client site.
the 2 urls below show a page with embeded player:

the problem is it doesnt work in internet explorer. im running IE8. I tested in on google chrome, firefox and opera and it works well in the last three. but not IE.
next i tried embeding youtube video and it displays fine in IE. see here:
http://www.myafricanbargains.com/index.cfm/fa/categories.main/parentcat/22900

this is what my embed code looks like:

<div style=“text-align:center”>
<object id=“player.php” type=“text/html” data=“http://www.afrijukebox.com/player.php” width=“440” height=“300”>
<p>Oops! That didn’t work…</p>
</object>
</div>

How can i get my flash audio player to run in ie? What am i doing wrong?
Any solutions, anyone? thanks
