Using Flash Objects on webpages...

...and making them HTML 4.01 compliant?

[chriswragg]

Hi

I'm using a flash .swf file as a heading to my website. I have inserted the flash file in DW, so the <object> tag has been used, but there is still an <embed> tag inside this.

When I try to validate the page on w3.org, the validator reads the <embed> tag and returns errors on all of the attributes in the embed tag.

Is there another way to embed flash objects without including the <embed> tag?
Would client side scripting be the only other alternative?

There was a now-famous article about this issue, and the method it espoused is called "Flash Satay". Macromedia has a reprint of the article here:
