The problem with using the <object> tag to embed content such as flash presents some problems in IE7. By default, these controls are "disabled" and users must click the object to "activate" it. This is the result of a company that held a patent on embedding content, and took MS to court over it. However, the patent doesn't include embedding inline objects (Such as using javascript to embed flash).

I'd strongly encourage you to check out SWFObject. It's quick and easy to implement. You can also provide alternate content for users without flash or javascript. That said, the object tag *does* support alternate content as well.

Same for UFO:
