This doesn't have anything to do with the problem, but can cause browser problems: Using compound file names is a big no-no. I would change this, "flash gallery", to something else like:

flashgallery
flash_gallery
flash_gallery

Can't test your code as the file path is relative.

Well, you still didn't give full path to media file so anyone can check function of code in their own browser. Nor, did you even make a change to file name????

That piece of info would have been helpful at the beginning. True. If still on your computer then I can't check the media player function.

But, you did say "site i am trying to embed it in is designed in php" so I took it that all files were online. Are they or not? Running php files locally will not work unless you have set your computer up to run php files.
