Well the tip I gave you re: the conditionals is just that. It allows you to selectively show/hide code.
One question: Where are you registering your flash object with SWFObject? I tend to use the dynamic publishing method instead of the static publishing method, so I usually don't have this much embedded code in my HTML to present the Flash movie. All that said, I haven't seen any indication that you are using SWFObject to make your life easier in this whole Flash presentation process... can you post the code in it's entirety? Another tack is to use the code generator on the SWFObject2 site. Google will help you track that down if need be.
