FlashMX not able to be viewed

I have an html page that has 2 flash images within it. They were created in FlashMX.

I looked at the page on 4 different computers. It's fine on 3 of them. However one computer cannot see the flash, all that shows up is a white box within the html, same size as the flash.

It was my understanding that FlashMX automatically detects if the computer has the current player and if not, gives a warning message. This did not happen.

I also had read in the help manual:

You can also publish the FLA file in alternative file formats—GIF, JPEG, PNG, and QuickTime—with the HTML needed to display them in the browser window. Alternative formats enable a browser to display your movie's animation and interactivity for users who don't have the Flash Player 6 installed. When you publish a FLA file in alternative file formats, the settings for each file format are stored with the FLA file.

To me, that means that if the flash didn't show, at least the gif or jpg would show. But no, just the white box.

Does anyone have any ideas of what is going on?

Thanks, Emily

What that means is that it will publish it with a different extension. If you publish the file as a Flash MX .swf, the user needs the Flash 6 plug-in, otherwise it won't display. If you publish it as a JPG, it will be an actual JPG (like something you did in Photoshop). I'm not sure why it didn't go and find the new plugin; I've had that problem before too. Maybe it's a problem with IE... there's so many problems with IE...
