ActiveX / IE Problem - Flash not loading :(

Question

Hi, 1st post whooo hooo :)
Ok, I have been creating a website for a friend and i thought
all was going well until i tried to open the site via IE. Menu
(created in flash 8) doesnt work. After a day searching on the web,
i found out it is due to a security update from MS...i guess alot
of people are having this problem as i found alot of web pages with
"fixes" but none seemed to work for me.
I have been trying to follow this one:

But still no luck...i put the .swf file and
AC_RunActiveContent.js in the root of my website and i think i
followed the instructions word for word. The menu dimensions are:
w-770, h-349
Works fine in Firefox/Opera
Can anybody point me in the right direction or can you tell
me where im going wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give me!
Cheers
Chris :)

Here's a solution:
First go here and copy the code and create javascript file
paste the code in the file, name it swfobject.js and put it in a
folder called js.
put this line of code in your html head
<script type="text/javascript"
src="js/swfobject.js"></script>
Next:
Put this in your body or where you want your flash to appear
Replace the information with your file info:
"7" means version number 200 is width 100 is height
<div id="flashcontent">
This text is replaced by the Flash movie You can put
anything here incase the user doesn't have flash plugin or correct
version.
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "200", "100",
"7");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
