What HTML code should use for Flash?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Can someone tell me what HTML code I should use for Flash – and make sure it doesn’t break any rules and passes all W3C validators?

I’ve googled around and can’t find an answer

Should I use something like SWFObject?

I looked at this: [url]http://validator.w3.org/docs/help.html#faq-flash[/url]
It says I should use ‘Flash Satay’ method
From past reading I have done, I know this method is not best for cross browser compatibility

Any replies would be great

Thanks

OM

@Eye_for_VideoFeb 17.2010 — swfobject is a great method because it allows alternate html text content that describes the Flash content... great for SEO.

You can also use <object> (without the <embed>) like this:
[CODE]<object id="myflash"type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="banner.swf" width="200" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="banner.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
</object>[/CODE]
Of course change .swf file name to yours and add/remove whatever other params needed.

I prefer swfobject.

Best wishes,
