random1 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 How do you embedd Flash FLV or SWF files into HTML (validated)? Also is there a free flash player that embeds, is lightweight and inlcudes FLV and SWF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martha Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 or if you simply want to embed swf flash movie in html page, then through dream viewer you can do it easily just click on dreamviewer "Insert" menu then "Media" then "Flash" now the browse window will open just select the swf file that you want to play on your page. that's it your flash file is embed in your html page now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merylvingien Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I think he is meaning to make the page validate to xhtml! I dont do much flash stuff myself as i have been pre-programed that it is bad for site optimisation But if you paste a youtube vid into a xhtml page using the code straight from youtube, the page wont validate!

haku Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 That's why I use swfobject - it validates fine in HTML, both transitional and strict, and allows for default content if javascript is not enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Should you really be using XHTML? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should you really be using XHTML? There is nothing inherently wrong in XHTML, it just doesn't do the things that are supposed to make it special. Or rather it does, but IE ignores that fact, making those special things mostly useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
