Re: <EMBED> vs. <OBJECT>, Totally lost!

You have to use both <OBJECT> and <EMBED> since OBJECT denotes the ActiveX
control version of the flash player and EMBED denotes the Netscape plugin...
If you only use the OBJECT tag your pages will not work in Netscape or the
MacOS. Here is an example:

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.c
ab#version=5,0,0,0"
 WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=100%>
 <PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="example.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#FFFFFF> <EMBED src="example.swf" quality=high
bgcolor=#FFFFFF  WIDTH=100% HEIGHT=100% TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_
Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED>
</OBJECT>

Full details, and a list of all the tags available to the Flash Player and
how they are used, is available in technote 4150 at:

I have used the <EMBED> tag for a while now for my .swf and I want to follow
the 
w3 standard of using <OBJECT> but these two tags seem to be like night and
day 
and I can not seem to get <OBJECT> to work if anyone has any advice @ it
pertains to embedding .swf please help
 
 
thanks
