I have Chrome, IE, FF, Opera, Avant, and Safari.

The flash documents that i have embedded into my web page work in ALL browsers except IE and Avant.

Here is my code
<table border="0" width="500" align="center">
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #000000;"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a id="various1" href="images/poker.swf"><img src="images/pokerthumb.jpg" width="140" height="104" border="0" style="float: right;" /></a>
<div align="left"><span><b><span style="font-size:24px;"><a id="various6" href="images/poker.swf">Poker&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</a></span></b></span><br /><br /> Your standard game of five card draw. Fun for all.</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #000000;"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a id="various2" href="images/masterfish.swf"><img src="images/fishthumb.jpg" width="140" height="104" border="0" style="float: left;" /></a>
<div align="right"><a id="various7" href="images/masterfish.swf"><span><b><span style="font-size:24px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Master Fisherman</span></b></span></a><br /><br /> Relax by the lake and cast your line in this simple fishing game.</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #000000;"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a id="various3" href="images/Roulette.swf"> <img src="images/roulthumb.jpg" width="140" height="104" border="0" style="float: right;" /> </a>
<div align="left"><a id="various8" href="images/Roulette.swf"><span><b> <span style="font-size:24px;">Roulette&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></b></span> </a><br /><br /> Spin the wheel and wait for the ball to stop. Will you be a winner?</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #000000;"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a id="various4" href="images/kvcslots.swf"> <img src="images/slotthumb.jpg" width="140" height="104" border="0" style="float: left;" /> </a>
<div align="right"><a id="various9" href="images/kvcslots.swf"><span><b> <span style="font-size:24px;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;KVC Slots</span></b></span> </a><br /><br /> Spin spin spin the reels. "K" is wild in this fun slot game.</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #000000;"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a id="various5" href="http://www.brainjar.com/js/blackjack/blackjack.html"><img src="images/bjthumb.jpg" width="140" height="104" border="0" style="float: right;" /></a>
<div align="left"><a id="various10" href="http://www.brainjar.com/js/blackjack/blackjack.html"><span><b><span style="font-size:24px;">Blackjack&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></b></span></a><br /><br />Play a simple game of Blackjack starting with a bankroll of $1000.</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #000000;"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Also I am using a script called Fancybox, though I doubt thats the propblem, because as I said, it works in all browsers except IE and Avant.

Thanks in advance to any help.

What do you mean by "doesn't work"? What is displayed in IE?
Best to post a link to the actual site, there are more variables than shown by the code above.

Due to confidentiality issues I can only post portions of the code.

What shows in IE is a nothing but a small image icon in the top left corner.

Like I said, there could be a dozen things that could be causing the problem. Without seeing the page, no way to know. The display of a small icon typically means the file is not found, and there could be a number of reasons for that.
But, that being said, you could take the long route and start testing various elements of the project to try narrow down the problem. I see none of the code you would normally use to place Flash on a Web page, just a href link. So it seems you are linking to a Flash file but not correctly displaying it. The fact that it shows up in one browser and not another does not neccessarily mean that the problem is with IE, The other browser may have just gotten lucky in figuring out how to parse bad code and display the Flash.
Start testing by try to directly download the Flash files. So open the Web page in IE that the Flash is on and in the address bar, backspace out just the page file name and replace it with:
images/masterfish.swf
then test each of the other .swf. Each should download directly, because that is the address you are using in the code.
Second, create a new blank Web page with just one cell of a table. Use something like this to place the Flash inside that cell:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="filename.swf" width="#" height="#">
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf">
</object>
Edit to fit your paramaters.
Also test that same code in just a <div> so you can see how Flash should be coded on a page.
