<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>First - this is not valid xhtml because
the EMBED tag isn’t closed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Second - the ‘quality’
attribute of the EMBED is defined twice - this throws an error and the second ‘quality=”high”’
must be removed<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Third (minor issue) - there is no ‘#version=x.x.x.x’
at the end of the codebase in the object tag, so the user’s flash player will
not be checked for the right version. This is not a big deal and will not
cause the script to crash.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I’m assuming this code was modified
since it came from Flash - let me know if it wasn’t because it isn’t
valid xhtml and that would be a bug in the Flash exporter.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I need to spend some time writing meaningful

of "advanced" config area, where you could set things like the name

radio's for setting params like wmode, color, flash version etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

for people that don’t really “get it” – I recommend
SWFObject all the time on experts-exchange and the n00bs out there never seem
to get it working :P, but I suppose it would also be nice to have a SWFObject
Graphical User Interface/Generator so you don’t always have to go back to
the documentation. Hmmm… Perhaps I’ll grab a domain for
the project and throw it out there. I just released some other software (<a
href="http://www.tera-wurfl.com/">www.tera-wurfl.com</a>) and I’m not
sure that I’ll have a lot of time for this project, but I’ll think
about it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
