HTML 4.01 Transitional and Flash

Is it possible to use flash with this doctype?

I decided to finally get with the program and validate all of my pages. Surprisingly, there were only a few ALT tags missing. However, on my index page I have a flash movie inserted. That page is the only page in the entire site that won't validate.

I get all these errors regarding one of the lines of code where I inserted the flash. It says there's no attribute "SRC", "WIDTH", "HEIGHT", etc.

Is it possible to use flash with HTML 4.01 transitional? I thought I read somewhere that it was possible.

Or maybe I'm just dreaming?

It certainly is possible - and not just with a transitional doctype but with a strict one. Here's a article on the Macromedia website that spells out the details:

Ted: Great! That article is exactly what I've been looking for. Hopefully I can clean my code up now and get the last page validated.

Thanks for your help.
