Valid flash embed

    Has anyone successfully installed a valid Flash movie? I can’t figure it out. I have been using the Satay method but one movie has a variable = it needs to place a jpg image over a black screen until the movie loads.

    There seems to be a javascript method that offers a million valid options. However, the way it is presented is a bit technical for me.

    1) Are we to put code in our header so the flash embed will work?
    2) I am not thinking about loading huge movies at this point in time.

    Here is the latest I think for SWFObject 2.0 = http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/SWFObject_2_0_documentation

    Here is the movie I wish to load and ” flashvars ” is not valid =

    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="261" data="http://www.fubiz.net/mediaplayer.swf" flashvars="file=http://www.fubiz.net/movies/abc-3d.flv&width=400&height=261&image=http://www.fubiz.net/blog/images/apercu-abc3d.jpg"><param name="movie" value="http://www.fubiz.net/mediaplayer.swf" /></object>

    flashvars should be a param element inside the object, not an attribute of the object element.

    <param name="flashvars" value="file=http://www.fubiz.net/movies/abc-3d.flv&width=400&height=261&image=http://www.fubiz.net/blog/images/apercu-abc3d.jpg" />

    YES! it’s a wrap, thanks otto! two weeks of reading and experimenting and this took 12 minutes by posting on forum….

    btw, i do have a question about the param string. i am wondering why the string validated with just the ” & ”

    i have a widget ( juke box this time ) on another site and the validator demanded this = “&amp;”
