Well, if you point to http://www.babelscribe.com/10/player.swf directly, It doesn't exist according to Flash player (right click and you can see "movie not loaded").
(although I do not see a 404 from the server, but a normal 200) I downloaded the swf, and well, it turns out it is not a swf file at all !!! I'd re-publish your swf from Flash and go from there.
