I experience the same issue. It doesn't work in Firefox 3 either on
mac nor windows. I don't use any ad-blocks. The sound loads, but not
the video. You can view my implementation over at: http://dpaste.com/99214/
. Not sure if this is due to swfobject or if it is due to my
Firefoxes /implementation / html / other.
I use the current swfobject, the generator and html 4.01

Cheers,
Robin
