All the javascript methods for embedding flash use a script within the page to replace a div with the flash code, which is another way validation fails. If you write an unobtrusive script that adds the script tag to the page once the dom loads, you can write a fallback for the flash for non-script people and everyone should be happy.

A proper fallback would be an image, or paragraph outlining the content of the movie etc.

Embedding flash has always been and issue and always will be in HTML 4.01. There are lots of methods but there are problems with all of them (as i'm aware). I think the best way of doing it is follow what the SWFObject documentation recommends. You could always dynamically include the Flash, but that would cause problems for users without JavaScript. Im not aware of the HTML 5 developments (i know, i know, i should be but im a busy guy) but maybe there is a fix in the future. Regards

    Hi,

    Im trying  swf object 2.0.

    http://www.seaviewnightclub.com/mockup2.html

    Im using the static-standards compliant method that uses
    conditional comments.
    I thought it would validate better than this.  Theres a lot of
    unclosed errors on the param tags. Should i just self close those
    i wonder? Theres also errors with ids being defined twice.

    Is anyone else usign swfobject 2.0 here, if so are you using
    dynamic or static method and why?

    -best
    kevin
