Using Firefox 20.0.1 with flash 10.3.183.75, can not see the Flash video if its embedded. Can see perfectly if not embedded. Chrome works fine.
http://64.165.34.7:8134/videoplayer3.html runs fine but http://64.165.34.7:8134/flash_ready.html does not load video in Firefox(black screen with plug in is needed, when you try to install "no plug in found"). Chrome is working fine. IE shows an blank outline.

You're trying to embed an HTML file here, I hope you're aware of that.
I have never seen anyone embed an HTML file through an <embed> tag.
So, please try to embed the video file itself.
I need to embed this video player at different places with different video files. Then how will I achieve this? As I already stated the same code is working in chrome.
Google Chrome comes with its own Flash plugin and can play mp4 files natively.
Firefox doesn't support playing MP4 files and you would need a Flash player anyway with type="application/x-shockwave-flash" to play such a file.
