HELP! Flash won't play

I have a published Flash file here: http://www.rudolph-pork-rinds.com/scrapbook.php that has suddenly quit working on many computers. For the computers that won't play it, an error message appears: "Flash Player 6 required. Get it here:...." I suspect that computers with Flash Player v10 are the ones that are unable to make it work. I have tried re-publishing the file to higher Players (the highest I can go is v8) and no luck. Same error message. Any advice would be most appreciated!

    I posted my question in the Flash forum as well and rritchey replied with this:

    "The problem is the detection script. Update to swfobject 2: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/ "

    This looks like a good solution, but I haven't been able to get it to work yet.

    We have a site that worked fine until we run our Adobe updates on 11/6/08. Today I uninstalled flash player 10.xx and reinstalled Flash Player 9x and your site http://www.rudolph-pork-rinds.com/scrapbook.php and my site work fine.

    However, what about our users, they might know how to uninstall new versions and reinstall older versions. Adobe needs to resolve the issues with the newest flash player and firefox.

    I also tried on another machine without the updates and it works fine, but the ones with the update do not work.

    Adobe I hope you can fix this soon.

    Hi aimeegeek,

    Well, Flash 10 installation & the player itself are troublesome.
    At the same time most things eventually working fine here regarding plug-ins for both browsers...

    ...but the message about Flash 6(!) wasn't seen for a long time indeed...

    That's why I decided to post the image below as a confirmation
    here is an image of the said page with Player 6 required

    My regards
