Re: Inserting .swf file

bleuh inserting .swf files is such a tricky thing to make browser safe. I find that using the folllowing code that i think dreamweaver gave me is the best iv found! although i have not had much experiance with this at all, i have had some. Below is the code:

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="<a rel="nofollow" href="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" target="_blank">http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub...ersion=8,0,0,0</a>" width="550" height="400" align="middle">
  2. <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
  3. <param name="movie" value="videos/hdsd mov.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><param name="LOOP" value="false"><embed src="videos/hdsd mov.swf" width="550" height="400" loop="false" align="middle" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" target="_blank">http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer</a>" />
  4. </object>

What this does is uses one script for embedding the swf for one type of browser, and in the <noscript> section which would be activated is another script, for the alternative browsers. Just edit in your own preferences, and it should work. Hope this hepls!!

Validation (XHTML 1.0 Transitional): Element 'embed' is not supported.

Thanx a lot
