The following is valid XHTML transitional, and seems to work fine in the browsers I've checked (IE6, Mozilla, Opera)

<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0";

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="http://www.example.com/flash.swf";
width="640" height="480">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.example.com/flash.swf"; />
</object>

Does anyone know if anyone has managed to produce a valid and reliable way
to embed Flash objects yet?
I'm noting Nick Gleitzman's reply to Seona Bellamy yesterday [RE: [WSG] Can
someone reproduce these issues for me please?] suggesting Flash Satay at A
List Apart.

My understanding is that the safest way is still to use Macromedia's invalid
default method:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/tn4150.html
This is taking into account Jeffrey Zeldman's comments in Designing With Web
Standards about Drew McLellan's Flash Satay method
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/
And noting Mark Lynch's comments on Flashvars using either the Satay meithod
or Ian Hixie's
http://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1081798064&count=1

Anyone know any better?
