calvin182 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I made a post about this is the multimedia > flash topic but got no responce, maybe somebody here can help me.Is there a way to have flash on a page while meeting XTHML 1.0 Transitional standards and maintaining browser compatability with FireFox and IE? It seems like one or the other. I've got compatability at the moment but I really would like that XHTML 1.0 Transitional to be working error free. Here's what I got: <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="780" height="450" title="flashtitle"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.domain.com/flash.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <embed src="http://www.domain.com/flash.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="780" height="450"></embed></object> any ideas how to achieve both? I think firefox likes embed but XHTML doesnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aspnetguy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 As per W3schools standards <object> should be used instead of <embed><{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, easier said then done.

As you will see it iwas not an easy thing to figure out.http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvin182 Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) yes that is a usefull article, I have read it a few times already in hopes of finding the answer but the problem is that I must make a specially sized container clip for each proportionally sized .swf I have. That alone doen't seem to be a huge hasle in itself, but the way flash plays on my site will not work with this I do not believe because my clips are dynamically loaded into a template and the code is the same for every flash displayed.I suppose if there's no other way I will have to write a script to determine which container clip to use depending on the size of the clip being loaded. Thank you for your help.EDIT: i went ahead and made multiple container clips and I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome so thanks again, everything works fine Edited March 16, 2006 by calvin182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
