If you're trying to determine whether playback is in the IE/Win browser,

then you could try specifying different query terms in the OBJECT and EMBED

tags instead:


<object classid=yadda-yadda>

   <param name=movie value="mymovie.swf?browser=ie">

   <embed src="mymovie.swf?browser=ns"></embed>

</object>


More info on this type of value-passing is in:

"Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie"

http://www.macromedia.com/go/14253


(IE/Win uses the OBJECT tag, and Netscape and IE/Mac use the EMBED tag...

I'm assuming you're trying to distinguish IE/Win from other browsers,

rather than all Microsoft-brand browsers.)
