Probably because you have no closing </embed> tag...

Not that I can see, or not in the right place at least! I've also noticed
another problem - your embed tag and object tag point at different
loactions. What you currently have is:

<td>
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.
cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="465"
height="128"
id="logo"
align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
<param name="movie" value="themes/WD-OpticsV1/flash/logo.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#161616">
<embed src="logo.swf"
quality="high"
bgcolor="#161616"
width="465"
height="128"
name="logo"
align="middle"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</object>
</td>


Notice there is no closing embed tag, and that your embed source:

<embed src="logo.swf"

Is different from your object source:

<param name="movie" value="themes/WD-OpticsV1/flash/logo.swf">


So, try something more like:

<td>
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.
cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="465"
height="128"
id="logo"
align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain">
<param name="movie" value="themes/WD-OpticsV1/flash/logo.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#161616">
<embed src="themes/WD-OpticsV1/flash/logo.swf"
quality="high"
bgcolor="#161616"
width="465"
height="128"
name="logo"
align="middle"
allowscriptaccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>
</td>

Did you actually *read* my post above? Your object and embed tags are still
pointing to different locations - your embed tag to a file that doesn't
exist
