How can I get an embedded video to float left in IE7?

How can I get an embedded video to float left in IE7? The following code works great in FireFox and the text wraps around the floated div and video, but in IE7 the text sits under the div/video.

<object height="264" width="320" style="float: left; margin: 5px;"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="AllowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://somevideo.com/" AllowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" height="264" wmode="transparent" width="320"></embed></object>

IE only uses the embed tag, it ignores the object tag.

Put it inside a div element, specify the same size for it, and set the float and margin on the div instead.

Alternatively, add the style both to the object and embed tags, but that might not work well if some browsers use both styles so that you get double margins.
