[WSG] Flash and Standards
Hi all, I'm sure this has been covered someplace, but when actually running into it on a busy schedule...you know the rest. A simple flash button for audio, from wimpy. Validator says: There is no attribute for: embed src=""> Nor for: quality, name, width, height, pluginsPage, and of course "embed" is undefined. At about this point one has a tendency to throw out webstandards completely or the demo. Several hours of fiddling with this didn't help. Not to blame webstandards for my lack of knowledge, but...sheesh. Any ideas besides taking a 2 month long course? Does Macromedia have a place to make their code work with Valid CSS?

Hi Bruce The flash satay seems to be the standard for flash http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/ There is a new technique, I believe. But this works pretty darn well.

Re: [WSG] Flash and Standards
I have been using FlashObject for sometime now, indeed I have posted here before asking what members of the list think of the technique. You may be interested to know that makepovertyhistory.org uses the flashObject technique, as an alternative there is also ufo http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/ufo/ atbS Bruce wrote: http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/ Typically, I found this 2 minutes after sending above, is this the answer to flash and standards?

Re: [WSG] Flash and Standards
The Web Standards Group is an awesome resource. Thank you, I received three answers within minutes that completely resolved the problem with three alternate solutions, each valid and comprehensive, and I might add, interesting and informative.
