Holy S**t - where did you get the code from to do your Flash detection?

I use this code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="banner_flash.swf" width="829" height="100">
    <!--[if IE]><param name="movie" value="banner_flash.swf" />< ![endif]-->
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <img src="images/banner.gif" style="width:795px,height:100px,border:0;" alt="Team building from City Challenge UK" />
</object>

Just substitute banner_flash.swf for your Flash filename and images/banner.gif if you have a static version.

It's cross browser and XHTML Strict!

If I was to hazzard a quick guess, I would say it's the Flash detection scripts causing the problem.

[edit] ditto ... pipped to the post but yup... fully agree with mattk

Place the above code precisely where you want your flash to appear.

You can see the code in action here:
