I created a cool flash element that I want to float left, and have text to the right, but I tried in the code to do a float but it didnt work. Can i fix with css? Im also using Kirupas flash embed fix, which im not fimiliar as i was with old embed tags, oh an i have to have it validate? Im on a deadline by tomo, any suggests???

heres my code, \*the float tag does nothing my text goes immediatly below the swf.

```
  &lt;div id="flashcontent" float="left"; style="width: 242px; height: 185px"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

```

\<script type=“text/javascript”\>  
var fo = new FlashObject(“old\_effect.swf”, “animationName”, “242”, “185”, “8”, “#FFFFFF”);  
fo.addParam(“allowScriptAccess”, “sameDomain”);  
fo.addParam(“quality”, “high”);  
fo.addParam(“scale”, “noscale”);  
fo.addParam(“loop”, “false”);  
fo.write(“flashcontent”);  
\</script\>
