Hi,
This is for embedding quicktime, but it may put you on to something.

And flash doesn't work with plug-in's and this doesn't work, without that...... Six in one hand half-dozen in the other. The aforementioned method may be slight of hand, but I've yet to encounter a situation where it has failed. Several large FLASH/XHTML/CSS firms use this method, so until I can find a concrete solution, I'll have to go with it. Thanks for your insight, it did inspire me to keep looking for a more tangible solution.

Try writing the necessary, but bloated flash code dynamically from a linked JS file as a function. Then call the function within the document. Safe, reliable and valid.
...and it doesn't work without JavaScript enabled. Also, in reality that's just
tricking the validator and still supplying invalid code to the browser. I'd
avoid that method if I were you. Personally, I like the version using IE
conditional comments. It does require some repetition but its solid. Far from
perfect though I have to say. I've done a load of experimentation on this
subject and as yet have got nowhere. It really is a massive pain in the
a*se...
Im not sure of the link to the article explaining the conditional IE comments
and haven't got time to root it out at the moment but Im sure one of friendly
list dudes will know it...
