object classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” ID=“himalayas” WIDTH=“250” HEIGHT=“100”  
param NAME=“movie” VALUE=“himalayas.swf”  
param NAME=“quality” VALUE=“high”

embed src=“himalayas.swf” quality=“high” bgcolor="#FFFFFF"  
WIDTH=“250” HEIGHT=“100” TYPE=“application/x-shockwave-flash”  
object\>

add this to your flash html code,  
param NAME=“wmode” Value=“Transparent”

Macronut

P.s I removed the\</\> from the code, otherwise a flash movie would be in place of this text 🙂
