Flash use of object tags

Using the "Satay" method for embedding Flash

[Armadillo]

Has anyone here used the "Satay" method of embedding Flash movies. The Satay method uses the object tag for all browsers and is W3C compliant.

I used it once before, but I stopped after doing more research on it. It seems that some people with Win ME and IE 5.5 can not see Flash movies embedded with the Satay method. I would really like to use it so my site will validate.

Has anyone else here used this method and have there been any incompatibilitys.

I tried it and found that, yes, in IE 5.5 only a non-writable textarea was visible and the frame rate for the animation was way off in Opera 7 (and fine with the standard object & embed). Someone also mentioned in the article discussion a problem with IE6/Flash Player 5. My test page is still live - sticky me for the URL if you want a look.
