If you’ve ever worked with Flash and HTML (and who hasn’t?), we’ve all come to a point where we need to embed a Flash movie into an HTML page. This is usually the same point where you cringe, especially if you need to validate your HTML/XHTML (and you should!). Embedding Flash can result in an ugly mess of code like this one:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
   codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
   width="550" height="400" id="Untitled-1" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="mymovie.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="mymovie.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550"
   height="400" name="mymovie" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
   type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
