Flash won't play in Firefox

hi i created a flash banner in flash mx 2004 professional and uploaded it to my web server to test - it works fine in IE, but it won't play at all in firefox. Firefox will not even acknowledge the html code stating that the flash banner is there it just ignores it. Any ideas how I can get my flash banner to play in Firefox?

The parameter code I used is:
<object>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
id="bannnner" width="760" height="150" />
<param name="movie" value="banner.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="High" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<param name="_cx" value="20108" />
<param name="_cy" value="3969" />
<param name="Src" value="banner.swf" />
<param name="WMode" value="Window" />
<param name="Play" value="1" />
<param name="Loop" value="-1" />
<param name="Menu" value="-1" />
<param name="Base" value="" />
<param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="Scale" value="NoScale" />
<param name="DeviceFont" value="0" />
<param name="EmbedMovie" value="0" />
<param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="1" />
</object>

Any ideas anyone??

Code:

<html>
	<head>
		<title>Macromedia Flash</title>

		<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="banner.swf" height="150" width="760"></object>
	</body>
</html>

thanks for the help but now it won't play in firefox or IE, the status bar at the bottom just moves across slowly.

I've put in a load of relevant parameters, but to no avail.

Well, it works fine in my Firefox. Internet Explorer needs the following code:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Macromedia Flash</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="test.swf" height="90" width="675">
			<param name="movie" value="test.swf">
		</object>
	</body>
</html>

If you can't get it working, you have to show me how you've used it.
