Embedding Flash

This is different than the default code that Flash provides. That typically involves the <embed> tag and is not valid XHTML. This doesn't use that, and is fully valid.

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
	data="your-flash-file.swf"
	width="0" height="0">
	<param name="movie" value="your-flash-file.swf" />
	<param name="quality" value="high"/>
</object>

    This seems very similar to the Flash Satay method from a while back.

    I was taught that you should always use swfObject for flash replacement. Isn’t it almost always a better solution?

    • That’s what I typically use. Although it does require javascript, and theoretically users might have javascript disabled and Flash enabled.

      In either case, it’s just a good thing to know there is a valid way to embed flash without any help.

    • Ryan says:

      Very true. swfOject is something worth mentioning though.
