trying to stream video

Could anyone tell me what is the problem with the following code?
firefox asks me to download plugins, internet explorer does nothing on
clicking on 'play'.

<a href='javascript:openPlayer("fileName")'>Play</a>
<script language='javascript'>
<!--

function openPlayer(fileToPlay){
