AudioPlayer (Flash) won't work on Windows XP / Internet Explorer 7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to play a mp3 in a custom player in Internet Explorer 7. Although 
Flashplayer gets detected for playing the file and Flash-Player is installed 
with 10.1.102.64 the file won't play and exists with the following exception:

The Demo-Showcase Custom-Player does not work as well...

I looked deeper into this:

for this snippet:

function __flash__addCallback(instance, name) {
  instance[name] = function () { 
    return eval(instance.CallFunction("<invoke name=\""+name+"\" returntype=\"javascript\">" + __flash__argumentsToXML(arguments,0) + "</invoke>"));
  }
}

IE says that the method or function is not supported by this object, instance 
and name or not null

Any sample code to reproduce this error?  

The showcase works for me in IE7/9 with Flash 10.1 & 10.2 beta

No further sample code. I really used the custom player from the online demo 
showcase. The internet explorer is now in version 8 and it still won't work. 
still got the same kind of error in line 48, character 3. I know that it's not 
only my machine, I tried on another one with xp and ie7 as well and get the 
same effect.

Ok, I used the developer console in internet explorer 8. The problem seems to 
be related to the use of the square bracket notation. When entering 
instance[name] in the watch list I get the same kind of error. When entering 
instance["name"] or using the dot notation instance.name it selects the proper 
field and value.
