Flash movie won't play in IE

[emblewembl]

I'm pretty new to Flash so bear with me..... I've made my movie which loads images in from a folder (these are referenced in an xml file), published it in swf, html and exe form. If I double click the exe file it all works great, but I need to upload this to a server so i want users to open the html file. Here's the problem......

the html file loads the movie (I can see the background border, image and a few buttons) but none of my images load and I have no idea why. Here's how the swf file is referenced in the html file:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="[URL unfurl="true"]http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"[/URL] width="702" height="502" id="pp" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="pp.swf" />
<param name="loop" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="devicefont" value="true" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#333333" />
<embed src="pp.swf" loop="false" quality="high" wmode="opaque" devicefont="true" bgcolor="#333333" width="702" height="502" name="pp" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"[/URL] />
</object>

I hope someone can help!
