I use the following doctype in a page that has a flash object,
html code
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="379" height="180">
<param name="movie" value="Flash/header.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="Flash/header.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="379" height="180"></embed>
</object>
When I try to validate the page Im displayed with the following errors,
there is no attribute "src"
there is no attribute "quality"
there is no attribute "pluginspage"
there is no attribute "type"
there is no attribute "width"
there is no attribute "height"
there is no attribute "type"
Could some one please advice me with some information on how to embed a flash object[.swf] in a page with no validation errors?
Try this. It will work.

embed is a old element invented by Netscape and never was standardized. Search google for dozens of valid ways to embed flash: http://www.google.de/search?q=embed+flash+valid

I'm trying to get my flash animation working in Firefox. It works excellently in both Chrome and Internet Explorer, but when I open up the webpage in FF it doesn't load. What's the problem? I'm seriously stumped. I also checked to see if there was any issues with my browser playing Flash in general but it works.
Here's the link to the site: http://mason.gmu.edu/~klee49/dees_peanuts/about_us.html
And here's the code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="800" height="600" id="FlashID" title="Dee's Peanuts Company Animation">
<param name="movie" value="assets/deespeanutsanimation.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10" />
<!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="assets/deespeanutsanimation.swf" width="800" height="600">
<!--<![endif]-->
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="10" />
<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->
<div>
<h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
<p><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="800" height="600" /></p>
</div>
<!--[if !IE]>-->
</object>
<!--<![endif]-->

Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Hi, to whoever happens to have this problem in the future, I managed a workaround by using an iframe tag instead of object.
<iframe src="assets/deespeanutsanimation.swf" width="640" height="480" title="Dee's Peanuts Company" border="0" /></iframe>
I found this solution over several places, regarding embeding a flash animation on my webpage but when I tried it, in my page only a white rectangle opens but the flash animation never plays.
I'm totally new for this Flash animations and object embeding thing so don't have any idea how to proceed.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="1000" height="600">

</embed>

Greetings
Have you checked that the file "birthdayAS2.swf" is in the same directory as of the file that you have mentioned above ?
Also please check whether your browser supports flash or not.
This means that flash player is loading. It also means that it cannot find the file.
After a lot of researching and testing I came up with this code:
<div id="flashcontent" align="center">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="birthdayAS2.swf" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash /swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="700" height="600" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="birthdayAS2.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="birthdayAS2.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave- flash" width="700" height="600" bgcolor="#000000" wmode="transparent" > </embed>
</object>
</div>
I need help embedding a .swf file onto my website. I have tried all kinds of code combinations. Here's what I currently have.
<div class="article_top_img">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >
<param name="movie" value="myfile.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed src="myfile.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="310"></embed>
</object>
</div>
At the moment it's simply displaying the outline of the video.
I've just tried to embed a swf file to HTML file with Adobe Dreamweaver application. Name of the swf file is t0.swf, it's located on the Desktop. It generated this code block:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400" id="FlashID" title="swf file">
<param name="movie" value="../Desktop/t0.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="7.0.70.0" />
<!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../Desktop/t0.swf" width="550" height="400">
<!--<![endif]-->
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="7.0.70.0" />
<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
<!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->

I've tried to view this html file with Google Chrome(version 30.0.1599.66 m), Mozilla Firefox (Version 24.0), Internet Explorer (Version 8) and Opera(Version 11.51). They all opened that html fine, swf animation starts playing just after opening the html. Also I've tried your code:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" >
<param name="movie" value="../Desktop/t0.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed src="../Desktop/t0.swf" quality="high" wmode="opaque" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="310"></embed>
</object>
It also worked fine, except that internet explorer showed the swf animation a little bit smaller, but it worked. May be you should check your flash player plugin.
I made the huge mistake of getting a template instead of just doing the development my self. Now I've narrowed down the issue- first, I thought it was an issue with the actual flash file. Now I'm realizing it's every time I change the images in the HTML editor which just makes no logical sense to me. This is the code for the flash file:
<body id="page1" onload="new ElementMaxHeight()">
<div id="main">
<!-- header -->
<div id="header">
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/…; width="940" height="417"></object><!----> <![endif]-->
</div>
<!-- content -->
<div id="content">
Again, it works great on IE, but nothing else, which is a twist I haven't seen online.
Appreciate any feedback you can offer.
Im sure this answer is here already but i will post a generic code i always use.
Just place the whole block and change related values, swf properties.
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="950" height="377">
<param name="movie" value="myMovie.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="direct" >
<param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0">
<!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf">
<param name="SCALE" value="noborder">
<!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
<!--[if !IE]>-->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="myMovie.swf" width="950" height="377">

In chrome, ie and safari this is not a problem, but in firefox it is.
I use <object> for my flashclip.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="movie" value="myclip.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>
What am I doing wrong?
After some testing, this works fine:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="myclip.swf"
width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="myclip.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>
Firefox needed both data, width and height.
For cross browser flash embedding, you need to use both <object> and <embed> tags, nested inside one another, and it might also help to include the data attribute on the <object> like this:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="myclip.swf">
<param name="movie" value="myclip.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<!-- Sandwich the embed tag inside the object tag -->
<embed src="myclip.swf" quality="high" />
</object>
Alternatively, I'd suggest using the swfobject javascript micro-library for robust cross browser flash embedding.
Use both object and embed tag. Some browsers use the tag and 'name' to get to the swf, others use and 'id'
The code is <embed src="helloworld.swf">.
