IE requires this to be in the OBJECT tag, not the EMBED tag.
The <OBJECT> tag is used to add SWF files to HTML pages. The <EMBED> tag can also be used, but is older and now obsolete: Details here[^]

You need to embed it using Object tag:

XML

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="yourflash.swf" width="" height="">
    <param name="video" value="myflash.swf" />
</object>

You can also use a free version control to do the same: http://www.flash-control.net/[^]
