Hello everyone. I am trying to create a website but i want it to be w3c valid. I am using flash and when i go to validate the page it tells me that theembed is not a supported tag. So i did some research and i stumbled upon the Satay method. I tryed it outand the it seems the “loader” movie clip loads up but not the actual movie.

here is a link to how the satay works

> By default, Macromedia Flash generates HTML that is invalid (but it works). Can you have your Flash and web standards, too? Drew McLellan has found a way to embed Flash content using only valid tags and attributes.

i followed the steps listed in the article and didnt seem to work for me. Maby someone else has a better solution to getting flash to validate.

Using FF3 on mac osx and PC.

Thanks in advance
