Hi Paul The problem you're facing is that the syntax for <OBJECT> used for the Flash player (and pretty much everything else that uses the <OBJECT> & <EMBED> pairing) is not XHTML compliant and will never validate.
Have a look at this article on ALA: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/ If your friend is 100% sure on being XHTML compliant on his Flash page then have a read of that article (there are issues though). IMO, although the code needed to embed a Flash player in a page is a monster, it's not necessary to be XHTML compliant here - if you've only got the Flash movie on that page then you haven't got any semantics or structure/presentation issues to worry about, whereas if you've got a lot more content in addition to the Flash movie (see Macromedia's site for an example of this) then as long as your content is fully compliant then you'll be OK in rendering, semantics, parsing, etc anyway. The "Flash Satay" is a good one though so read on.
