Ok - you know problems that you should really be able to solve on your own? 
Well this one's been irritating me for a good few hours now...
 All I want to do is embed a WMV file on an HTML page so that it plays back 
on IE 5/6, Netscape 6+ and Firefox
 Here's the code I'm using:
  <object id="MediaPlayer" width="320" height="285" 
classid="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"
standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." 
type="application/x-oleobject">
<param name="FileName" value="trailer_hi.wmv">
<param name="ShowControls" value="true">
<param name="ShowStatusBar" value="false">
<param name="ShowDisplay" value="false">
<param name="autostart" value="true">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" filename="trailer_hi.wmv"
width="320" height="285" ShowControls="1" ShowStatusBar="0" ShowDisplay="0" 
autostart="1"></embed>
</object>
** 
That works fine on IE, but not on Mozilla browsers.
 Can anyone point me towards what I'm doing wrong please?
 Cheers
Tim
