But it works perfectly in IE...I thought it may be that I'm using 4.01 strict, but that's not the problem given I'm using 4.01 on my homepage and it shows the flash on that page fine.

It my photogalleries I'm having the problem with....any idea of how to fix this problem???

Take a look at your code carefully.
<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="600" height="600" id="main" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="main.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="quality" value="high" />

<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="../../main.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="600" height="600" name="main" wmode="transparent" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></object>
Notice the file name differences? You shouldn't be using the embed tag either. Try this
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="main.swf" width="600" height="600">
<param name="movie" value="main.swf">
</object>

I don't recommend using frontpage extensions or the mailto when trying to send data. All users don't have a default mail client setup. You are better off using some type of server side language like php or asp.
