Using what path? Is the flash file sitting in app/webroot? Try:

/main_ani.swf

(note the slash)

Also, your markup gives the path for the embed tag but not the object.
You need to realise that embed and object are two different things.
Some browsers use one and some the other. The object tag requires
param tags inside it which have the same values as the attributes of
the embed tag. Notice that you have not included the path to the
flash file for the object tag.

<param name="src" value="/main_ani.swf">

That would suggest you haven't loaded the FlashHelper.
