I wholeheartedly recommend using Flash Object for embedding Flash into HTML. Yes, it means those with JavaScript disabled will get the 'alternative version', but in all honesty, in these days of AJAX and standards-compliance, people who disable JavaScript are in the tiny minority.
The benefits (customisability, compatibility, upgradability etc.) of using Flash Object greatly outweigh the disadvantages. I'd love to see Adobe recommend the use of Flash Object over the current standard of an ugly combined <object> and <embed> tags. On another note, it's actually considered good practice to have JavaScript create any 'active content', that way the code falls down gracefully and those with non-capable browsers get an alternative view. Just my opinion! Paul.
