Second,
<!--[if !IE]> <-->
Conditional tags are only recognized by IE, so !IE does nothing at all in other browsers.
I suggest you look at SWFObject. It's a small Javascript library that allows you to load an initial image in an ordinary page element:
<div id="header"><img src="flash_screen_capture.jpg"></div>
If Javascript is enabled, it writes the Flash to that div, providing semantic HTML to search engines and avoids your whole problem. It also gets rid of the "Gray line" problem in IE.
