    I need help in how to embed any swf file in html, without getting any validation errors on w3 validator.

    I am using the following code, which works fine. But it does not validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="300" height="200" id="xml_demo" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="xml_demo.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="xml_demo.swf" width="500" height="400"></embed>
</object>
    Code (markup):
    Please help.

    The error is basically because of embed tag, it is not validating because of that, why so?

    Okay, I cracked the code.

    The following code works fine, with this, it validates valid as well.

    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="xml_demo.swf" width="600" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="xml_demo.swf" />
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#CFDAE4" />
<a title="You must install the Flash Plugin for your Browser in order to view this movie"  href="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/"><img src="needplugin.gif" width="431" height="68"  alt="placeholder for flash movie" /></a>
</object>
