Yours doesn't work either for me, but now that i have a close look at the topic title it says version 1, so it wont work with 1.1 right? If so heres my index.tpl:
<html >
<head>
<title>SWFObject - step 3</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<(Heres the script tag) type="text/javascript" src="js/run.js">(Heres the script tag)>
<(Heres the script tag) type="text/javascript">runSWF("proomo.swf", 531, 125,"6,0,29,0", "#333333");(Heres the script tag)>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
{$HOOK_HOME}
