# 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](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;`”
