when trying to validate an html with a flash movie i get plenty of errors like: is no attribute "SRC", there is no attribute "WMODE", there is no attribute "WIDTH" Im not using frames on my site. should the doctype be changed? ive read a post on another site where someone wrote an external javascript to the page, but surely that is worse?
code + w3 explanation below. im not (necessarily) asking to fix my code, just wondering what the deal is with validating flash

explanation by W3 is: "You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute)"
