Hi Anne. In these sort of cases, I always try to reduce the problem to its smallest parts. It does not seem as if SWFObject has anything to do with this particular issue to me, and is more to do with your particular server setup. The sort of things I would test would be:
Does the page work locally on your own machine? Does the page work in a non-password protected environment? Does a standard embed from Flash work in your password protected environment?
