poab,
I went to the article you suggested and have tried the suggestions. Although better still have one problem validating a page!

Trying to validate “Markup” on a DreamweaverMX Studio Page with 2 small Flash movies using Dreamweaver validation check:
Obviously had a problem with old code and “<embed>” as follows:

<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="750" height="140">
<param name="movie" value="HeaderIndex.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="HeaderIndex.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
width="750" height="140"></embed>
</object>

Severity Description Line
Error The tag:"embed" is not allowed within: "object" It is only allowed within: . 94
Error "header.swf" is not valid value for the "src" attribute in any of the currently active
versions. See the above warnings for more details. 94
Error The tag: "embed" doesn't have an attribute: "quality" in currently active versions. 94
Error The tag: "embed" doesn't have an attribute: "pluginspage" in currently active versions. 94
Error The tag: "embed" doesn't have an attribute: "type" in currently active versions. 94
Error "750px" is not valid value for the "width" attribute in any of the currently active versions.
See the above warnings for more details. 94
Error "140px" is not valid value for the "height" attribute in any of the currently active versions.
See the above warnings for more details. 94

Changed to:

<object
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="movie.swf"
width="400" height="300">
<param name="movie" value="movie.swf" />
</object>

and still have a problem:

Severity Description Line
Error The tag name: "objecttype="application/x-shockwave-flash"" Not found in currently active
versions. 94

Is there any way past this?, anyone have suggestions? or is it just not possible to validate a page with a Flash movie?

Thanks,
Ken
