can't play .swf in IE

I'm trying to play a simple Header.php file that has a flash header.  I can play it fine in Firefox but can't play it in IE.  I'm using Dreamweaver to add it.  I've tried many times with no success.  I've tried taking all the html tags away, added the Scripts file Dreamweaver creates to the ftp, etc.  All IE does is keep wanting to install flash player but nothing gets fixed each time I do it.  Others can't view it either in IE

 

Here's latest code I have. 

 

Header.php

<script src="Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0','width','818','height','165','title','Header','src','Header','quality','high','pluginspage','http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash','movie','Header' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="818" height="165" title="Header">
  <param name="movie" value="Header.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <embed src="Header.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="818" height="165"></embed>
</object>
</noscript>

 

I'm calling it after the body tag in my index.php file

<body>

<? include('Header.php'); ?>

I think I got it to work.  I was testing it on IE x64 but after going to adobe's site to try and download flash directly from them they had a page saying flash isn't supported in x64 browser.  I tried it in x32 and it seems to work.  After all this time they still don't have a x64 flash plugin, that's crazy!
