No hidden spellcheck icon on either Compatibility view or non.
Been discussing this with the developers, who don't believe the spellchecker has ever worked with IE, only in Gecko browsers. Can you confirm that it worked in IE 8? They just tested IE7/8/9 and say it doesn't work in any.

Confirming YES - it worked in IE8!!!
Here's how IE9 looks:

And while I'm at it...
Here's screen shots of what happens when you put the link in for a video on youtube.
All is normal until you click the "Insert" Button and then this is what happens - it puts in Iframe:

Thanks! The fact that the spellchecker worked for you in IE8 proves you are special. The button missing in IE9 is appropriate since the TinyMCE spellchecker has a known incompatibility issue with that browser. Why the button is missing it's icon in FF is another issue.
Now that this thread has strayed completely off topic, maybe we should start discussing monkeyantics.

Let's see if we can say this one more time: Paste the object embed code in HTML view for best results. iFrames are not allowed for security reasons.

Okay.
Now I don't mind doing a little extra work but shouldn't/wouldn't the developers like to know that there is a glitch on the inserting a youtube link ? I'm not an expert but something is going on when clicking the "insert" button and making it switch to iframe when it is set at flash.
IE 9 will be coming down the pike for the masses very fast so……
And then if you manually switch that drop down to flash before hitting insert you get nothing.
HTML's to show:

i'm guessing this is the error:
Line 313, Column 84: document type does not allow element "table" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag
…yle="text-align:center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").

I promise I'm not laughing since I can never understand your language! Okay, I laughed a little! 
Sorry,
that is the html from my post copied and pasted. Copied from the "html" button within a post.
Basically, I'm saying that when you click the insert button after inserting the video link, it switches the format to iframe even tho flash is defaulted. And then if you go back and try to edit it in the video insert pop up window and change it back to flash instead of iframe, it doesn't work.
Probably not a good time to ask about the hodge podge, mish mash of broken avatar links that varies from page to page!??

And I'm saying (again) that YouTube is only passing their "new" iframe embed code when inserted via the view page url instead of the "old" object code which can be manually selected and pasted in HTML view. Don't know how more clear I can be. iFrames are not allowed, so videos will not display that way, and changing the format to Flash will simply break the code, so that won't work.
To embed videos from YouTube, select the old object embed code and paste it in HTML mode. The insert media button should still work for sharing sites that pass Flash code.

Only if you care to hear another suggestion to you use Firefox.

And here's proof of how much we love you, all of you.
We just edited our tag filter library to allow iframe embedding – at the risk of opening a potential for breach of security – to make inserting videos in forum posts easy. Embedding YouTube videos will now work using the Insert Embedded Media button by pasting in the view page URL. See…
Please note that the new youtu.be "share" urls will not work. Copy the video's view page URL from your browser and the video will embed in an iframe. There will be no yellow placeholder box in the post editor, just a blank space.
This does mean your job as Moderator(s) has just become more important. We all must be on the lookout for suspicious new members who may just be ne'er do well trawlers with nefarious intent. (And not just monkeydogs.) If in doubt, do not approve first posts of new registered users.
For the record, this change of YouTube's default embedding to iframe code is in blatant opposition of upcoming HTML5 standards. Resistance is futile. Prepare to be assimilated.
For those of us who prefer Flash embedding, the "old" object code can still be pasted in HTML mode as previously described multiple times in this topic.
