SWFObject is a better way to embed swf files in html. Its shorter than Adobe's AC_RunActiveContent, makes the flash file more compatible for other devices which use less advanced versions of javascript, and it degrades gracefully on ancient browsers.

Are you easily confused? Is your wmode not transparent even after checking it a hundred times over? Stop messing up the code and use the SWFobject code generator.

1. insert the object

      <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="780" height="420">
        <param name="movie" value="myContent.swf" />
        <!--[if !IE]>-->
        <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="myContent.swf" width="780" height="420">
        <!--<![endif]-->
          <p>Alternative content</p>
        <!--[if !IE]>-->
        </object>
        <!--<![endif]-->
      </object>

2. insert into head (the file)

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>


3. insert into head (the registration)

    <script type="text/javascript">
    swfobject.registerObject("myId", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf");
    </script>
