swfobject and cflayoutarea

This is a Microsoft issue due to a lost legal battle.  You can get around it by running the flash with javascript.   There are lots of solutions out there (google IE Click to activate flash)

Here's one..
http://www.mix-fx.com/flash-prompt.htm

I dont think theres a need for the fixit.js, I already have a date time fix that works in IE, my problem lies with the cflayoutarea.

When I separate the flash from the cflayoutarea tabs it is fine, functions perfectly and no prompt.

When I place them into cflayoutarea tabs the swf is blank, until I click on it, theres also random issues with the movie loading altogether when its placed inside those tags. I think theres an issue with embedding my flash inside of a cflayoutarea, thats the only thing I can put it down to now??

I've pasted my code into the snippet, with my swfobjects etc as it stands now. Hopefully theres a glaring problem that I havn't seen?

cheers
