Flash Satay: Embedding Flash While Supporting Standards

/ Published in: HTML

URL: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/

by Drew McLellan

I’ve worked with Flash for several years and have always been slightly dissatisfied with the markup needed to embed a movie in web pages. When I recently published a site in XHTML, my dissatisfaction with the markup grew as I realized that it simply wasn’t valid in this context and was bloating my pages to unacceptable levels. A leaner, standards-compliant method of embedding Flash movies was called for.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
 data="movie.swf"
width="500" height="500" >
<param name="movie" 
value="c.swf?path=movie.swf" />
<img src="noflash.gif" 
width="100" height="100" alt="Flash Plugin Required" />
