<embed src='http://www.funkyboys.de/images/party/party01.swf is an infinitely
redirect while 
<param name='movie' value='http://www.funkyboys.de/images/party/party05.swf 
works.

Mozilla use the embed Tag (broken swf) and IE is using the object Tag with a
working file.

And please use the next time "Core:plugins" and not "Firefox:General"

-> invalid

(mid-air clash with Matti)

Reporter, the object-tag (used by IE) uses a Flash file called party05.swf,
while the embed-tag (used by Firefox) uses party01.swf, which causes an endless
redirect. That's obviously not right.
