Object doesn't support this property or method

[The Little Guy]

I have the following code:

function play(songid){
sid = songid;
thisMovie().getMp3(songid);
}

function thisMovie(){
var movieName = 'player';
if(navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1){
	return window[movieName];
}else{
	return document[movieName];
}
}

 

This is to use javascript with my flash player. This works in ever other browser, except for internet explorer, and here is the message:

 

SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support this property or method  home.js, line 48 character 2

 

line 48: thisMovie().getMp3(songid);

 

How can I fix it?

Something like this should work on all browsers:

 

return window.document.player;

nope, I still get the same error in IE.

What does the embed look like? I've used the same code for another project and it worked fine on all browsers.
