Hi Germ
its just for a flash file which will act as the banner for the top of
the webpage
You will need the <object> … </object> tag.
Check out this excellent article ... I work this way, and code is
widley supported by browsers, and passes validation.

thanks for links and help
As for your second question:
Also when i tried putting the <a href> tags on either side so that it
was a link, it didnt work. any special reason??
I would think that it is because <embed> … </embed> is a block-level
elements, and <a> … </a> is an inline element; From the W3:
Generally, block-level elements may contain inline elements and other
block-level elements. Generally, inline elements may contain only
data and other inline elements. Inherent in this structural
distinction is the idea that block elements create "larger"
structures than inline elements.

I was using the "satay" method as well, and its pretty good, until Opera
renders both the object AND embed contents..... Switch the swfobject and
am good to go these days.
Basically, there's no actual valid flash that works, sorry.
There are methods to either display flash or alternative content, but
thats about it.
