The problem was in the placement of my sw1 parameter in the html. Wrong: <embed src="crossword.dcr" bgColor=#FFFFFF width=560 height=520 swRemote="swSaveEnabled='false' sw1 = "1" swVolume='true' swRestart='false' swPausePlay='false' swFastForward='false' swContextMenu='true' " swStretchStyle=none type="application/x-director" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/"></embed> right: <embed src="crossword.dcr" bgColor=#FFFFFF width=560 height=520 swRemote="swSaveEnabled='false' swVolume='true' swRestart='false' swPausePlay='false' swFastForward='false' swContextMenu='true' " swStretchStyle=none sw1 = "1" type="application/x-director" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/"></embed> I had the sw1 parameter embedded in the swRemote parameters. Interesting that IE recognized it at all.
