If you're trying to determine whether playback is in the IE/Win browser,
then you could try specifying different query terms in the OBJECT and EMBED
tags instead:

<object classid=yadda-yadda>
<param name=movie value="mymovie.swf?browser=ie">
<embed src="mymovie.swf?browser=ns"></embed>
</object>

More info on this type of value-passing is in:
"Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie"
http://www.macromedia.com/go/14253

(IE/Win uses the OBJECT tag, and Netscape and IE/Mac use the EMBED tag...
I'm assuming you're trying to distinguish IE/Win from other browsers,
rather than all Microsoft-brand browsers.)
