'SWFObject' is undefined when running Flash Movie from htm created by Captivate 5.5

Hello experts,
I have a .swf file created by Captivate 5.5. An htm file gets created like this below but when I run it in IE 8, I get 'SWFObject' is undefined. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I can run the .swf file when I open it in Adobe Flash 10. Thanks.

If you're using IE 8 + to see the page then you must give the object tag an css Id attribute in order to be displayed correctly in IE 8 +
