It's your HTML that's triggering IE/Windows to download a Flash 5 player. 


This part:

codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca

b#version=5,0,0,0" 


Tells that browser that a version 5 player is necessary to view the page. It

has nothing to do with the version you've exported your SWF in - the

codebase tag is telling your computer that it will need the v5 player.

What effect does the version have in the codebase attribute of the OBJECT

tag?
