At a first galnce i would guess its your javascript test:

<code>

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
width=100% height=316>

            <param name=movie value="grfx/BigMap.swf">
            <param name=quality value=high>
            <param name=bgcolor value=#36272A>
            
			<!-- begin the JavaScript -->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-hiding contents from old browsers

//If this browser understands the mimeTypes property and recognizes
the MIME Type //"application/x-shockwave-flash"...
if (navigator.mimeTypes &&
navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]){

   //...write out the following <EMBED> tag into the document.
   document.write('<embed src="../grfx/BigMap.swf" quality=high
bgcolor=#36272A  width=100% height=316
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed>
');
}
//Otherwise,...
else {

   //...write out the following <IMG> tag into the document. The image need
   //not be the same size as the Flash Player movie, but it may help
you lay out the
   //page if you can predict the size of the object reliably.
   document.write('<IMG SRC="../grfx/welcome.jpg" ALT="Welcome to
Thermon Manufacturing">');
}

//Done hiding from old browsers. --> 
</SCRIPT>

<!-- Close the OBJECT tag. --> 
          </object>

</code>

I've never seen flash embedded like that before, I have always used
the moock fpi in the past with 'as good as is possible' results:
