I would like to know if  it displays a PLAYLIST ID or does is say NO
FLASHVARS when viewed in IE6 or IE7 -

Just because one test in the test_suite works - that doesn't exclude
the possibility of a bug. Just means you may have to write a better
test.

One issue that you haven't answered - why does changing it to
swfobject 2.1 (and leaving everything else the same) work in IE7 IE6 ?
