[thelist] flash video and IE7 / IE8

I have a site where I need to display some flash videos.
It works fine with IE6 and Firefox, but with IE8 although the space is
there all that shows is a red X. In IE7 it does less with more. You
actually have to move the cursor over that imagined spot where the video
would be and you get a tooltip like "Click to activate and use the control".
These are true vanilla installs of IE7 and IE8; it will commonly say
something like with no addons, blah...
The question, Is this a problem with me not going through a routine to
complete its installation (no Flash) or is a problem of not having the
right embed code or a missing parameter making it display the "Install
Plugin" link - or other? The code looks like:
<div style="width:480px; margin: 0em auto;">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/videos/whatever.swf" width="483" height="402" id="whatever">
<param name="play" value="false" >
<param name="movie" value="/videos/whatever.swf" >
</object>
</div>
Thx, Bob
