is your connecting.swf file located in cgi-bin? if not, make sure you specify the valid location... like: ../connecting.swf or something similar.

also, if you intend on printing the html like this, why not qq[] instead of escaping?

print qq[<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
+codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swf
+lash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" width="400" height="300">\n];
print qq[  <param name=movie value="../connecting.swf">\n];
print qq[  <param name=quality value=high>\n];
print qq[  <embed src="../connecting.swf" quality=high pluginspage="ht
+tp://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=
+ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" heig
+ht="300">\n];
