.swf click through not working in IE?

[Brooker22]

I'm wrapping the file in an object, inside a href link. I've read a few time this should'nt be done, but is working in all other browsers bar IE? i don't think i should have to do this as the swf. file itself, actually has a click through to the url i want anyway.

This is how my code is looking.

<a href="

http://oracle.clikpages.co.uk/primavera/">

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300" height="250" data="

http://execdigital.co.uk/banners/OracleMPU.swf">

<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="src" value="

http://execdigital.co.uk/banners/OracleMPU.swf"/>

<param name="href" value="

http://oracle.clikpages.co.uk/primavera/"/>

<param name="autohref" value="true">
<param name="alt" value= "Oracle Primavera">
<param name="tooltip" value= "Oracle Primavera">
<param name="cache" value="false">
<param name="target" value="

http://oracle.clikpages.co.uk/primavera/">

Apart from the fact that there's absolutely no ASP or C# here whatsoever, the only thing I can see is that you mix tag closing styles on your param elements, when you should use one or the other, i.e. you have:

<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<param name="src" value="[URL unfurl="true"]http://execdigital.co.uk/banners/OracleMPU.swf"[/URL][!]/[/!]>
