Your code appears to be mixing both static and dynamic embed methods for the
same element, which is likely to be problematic.
You first make a call in your script code to "embedSWF(...)" and specify a
DOM element of "myAlternativeContent".
Then, down in your markup, I see a <div id="myAlternativeContent"> which is
good. But then inside it you have the <object> stuff as the static embedding
syntax.
Either empty out that <div> and use dynamic embedding, or change your calls
from "embedSWF(...)" to proper static embed calls to "registerObject(...)".
Also, it'll be easier for us to debug further issues if you provide a link
to a page we can live test instead of just looking at source code you paste
into the thread.

Subject: SWFObject 2.0 works but 2.2 doesn't in Firefox
Hi,
I'm developing a plugin module for an open source PHP learning
management system (Moodle) that leverages the JW FLV Player from
LongtailVideo.com. Previous versions have worked without any problems
with various versions of the player across IE, Chrome, Safari and
Firefox.
I've updated the SWFObject version from 2.0 to 2.2 and I've come
across this problem (SWFObject 2.2 doesn't work in Firefox 3.5).
Everthing is fine in all other browsers and I've tried switching
between SWFObject embed and "alternativeContent" embed which is just
bog standard HTML code. The alternative content, which is not
dependent on SWFObject, works.
Like I've said, everything works fine with SWFObject 2.0 and it's only
when I try 2.2 that things go wrong, so I tried opening the example
files that come in the swfobject.zip download package - index.html and
index_dynamic.html (both of which are dependent on SWFObject) - and
neither of them display the test.swf file in Firefox! Again, no
problems with the other browsers.
Is this a Firefox or a SWFObject bug? Does anyone know?
In case you're interested, here's an instance of the code my module
prints out:
