However, the problem i have with this is that it doesn't view on MSIE5.x/Win - which obviously is still a popular combination. There is apparently a workaround to this, but as far as i'm aware (i've tried it) it doesn't quite solve the problem.
The choice is yours really, but i personally just keep to the original (junk) mark-up and make sure everything else is valid. I know its not web standard compliant or anything, but currently, and temporarily, it'll suffice.

Jaime - there's been a lot of discussion about this issue. I'm currently using a method referred to as the 'Flash Satay' method. There are several other methods (sorry - can't locate URLs just not). All have their ups and downs. ALA discussed satay here:

Subject: [WSG] Making Flash Codes validate
Hello everyone
I am facing some validation issues (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) with the following flash object codes:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0";
WIDTH=126 HEIGHT=272>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="scripts/flash/scs_news.swf"> <PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=opaque> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#5D5329> <EMBED src="scripts/flash/scs_news.swf" menu=false quality=high wmode=opaque bgcolor=#5D5329 WIDTH=126 HEIGHT=272 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash";></EMBED>
</OBJECT>
It's the 1st time I am adding some flash content so am unsure of what's right or wrong.
The demo page can be found here http://designs.sodesires.com/scs/
Any pointers will be great. Thanks.
Best Wishes, Jaime .......
