Flash html 4.01 validation

how to get flash to validate to html 4.01 standard

[twist]

I've tried searching but am coming up blank,

Here is my flash script, pretty standard

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
width="100" height="363" hspace="0" vspace="0" id="menu">
<param name="movie" value="http://website.com/flash/flash.swf">
<param name="quality" value="best">
<param name="loop" value="false">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#CCCCCC">
<param name="FlashVars" value="var=value">
<embed src="http://website.com/flash/flash.swf" loop="false" quality="best" menu="false" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" 
FlashVars="var=value" 
hspace="0" vspace="0" swLiveConnect="true" 
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" name="menu" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="363"
</embed></object>

When trying to validate the page in html 4.01 transitional I recieve errors for every flash attribute. Here is the first few,

Line 86, column 12: there is no attribute "SRC" (explain...). 
 <embed src="http://website.com/flash/flash.swf" loop="false" quality="best" me
 ^
Line 86, column 55: there is no attribute "LOOP" (explain...).

  ^
Line 87, column 11: there is no attribute "FLASHVARS" (explain...).

 ^
Line 88, column 8: there is no attribute "HSPACE" (explain...). 
 hspace="0" vspace="0" swLiveConnect="true" 
 ^
Line 88, column 19: there is no attribute "VSPACE" (explain...). 
 hspace="0" vspace="0" swLiveConnect="true"

Any ideas?

There have been several threads about this both here and in our Graphics forum. Here's one reference:

Thanks all. Read the article. Hope the guy figures out a easier way to solve the problem.

After some serious wrestling with this for a client of mine, I hope we ALL (including Macromedia) find a simpler approach. This is a mess for everyone, and I think the buck stops at MM.
