[RESOLVED] Validate flash embedded code?

[Nightwalker83]

Hi,

I have a website the uses flash buttons and contains tags such as:

<embed>

</embed>

However, the normal html/xhtml validators count those tags as errors. Is there a validator specifically for flash? Or does anyone know a site what explains how to make the non html code validator friendly?

Thanks,

Nightwalker

For XHTML you need to use the object tag for your code to be compliant.

Does that mean I just have to replace

<embed></embed>

with

<object>
</object>

?

Edit:

I fixed the problem, here is an example:

      <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="100" height="30" tabindex="6" title="links">
        <param name="movie" value="links.swf" />
        <param name="quality" value="high" />
        <param name="bgcolor" value="#C5EB00" />
      </object>
