Hi Erwin,
I always use a method suggested to me by Bert Doorn which so far has
worked fine:
<object data="opening.swf" width="550" height="377"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="movie" value="opening.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#fff" />
<img src="graphics/openingflashimage.gif" alt="" />
</object>
you'll note that you can put a graphic there for those who don't want
Flash, or indeed you can include a link/prompt to download the player.
I like it because it's so simple, AND it validates xhtml strict.
Hope this helps . . .

Hi all,
So far I¹ve been able to avoid using Flash but a site I¹m working on uses a
few flash elements (like a slideshow).
I¹ve been googling around but besides the alistapart article on Flash-Satay
I¹ve not been able to find another method of embedding flash in a page so
that it still validates.
Does anyone with more flash experience have any suggestions?
(I'd like the pages to validate to XHTML Strict or Transitional)
Thanks in advance,
Erwin Heiser
