Not surprising that this works in IE and not in FF.
IE gets the "heli.swf" via param from in the object tag while the shockwave
filename in the embed Tag is missing. That's the reason that the flash Player
can't load the flash file in Mozilla.

The owner of that page fixed the source and it's working now.
