Provided you don't need the Flash movie to stream (i.e. start playing before it's fully downloaded), the following works in all browsers that I am aware of (unless anyone else knows better): <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="example.swf" width="100" height="200"> <param name="movie" value="example.swf"> <!-- alternative content for non-flash browsers --> </object> which is simpler and easier to remember than the fancy EMBED-using recipes, and validates.
