****Newbie Alert!****

Anybody know what the code is for embedding a flash file into an XHTML I tried it will the normal HTML but it doesn't work. plus I get loads of validation errors when I use the HTML coding.

 

oh wait sorted,

 

do I do the no repeat in the coding or in flash MX

Sorted that aswell

not finished yet but what do you think to my portfolio?

Oliver - you've embedded flash into XHTML but your pages don't validate. I couldn't link to anything but the homepage either - guess you're still in the middle of building it...

 

I've always approached the flash / XHTML problem by using a container swf file that pulls my animation in - this is the code that I use:

 

<div id="flash">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="headers/container.swf?path=headers/home.swf" width="698" height="160">
	<param name="movie" value="headers/container.swf?path=headers/home.swf" />
	<param name="quality" value="high" />
	<param name="menu" value="false" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#deedf6" />
</object>
</div>

 

Basically this is called the flash satay methid as outlined in this article on the A List Apart site:

 

Flash Satay Method

 

You can also use:

 

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/banner.swf" width="288" height="128">
<param name="movie" value="images/banner.swf" />
<img src="banner.gif" width="288" height="128" alt="banner" />
</object>

 

Which I've found by doing a search on google - here's a link to the page that explains the code:

 

Valid Flash example

 

I've not tried this myself so can't vouch for it, but think I might give this a go next time I need to put flash into my XHTML files.

 

Hope that helps
