The Internet Classroom: Flash Validation

Flash Validation

2006/07/18 10:54:25 PDT by trentyou

I have a problem when I try to validate my page with the Flash. I took out the flash portion out of the source code and put it in my journal log and it says I have 11 errors : (

Here's the source for the flash:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,

0,0" width="550" height="400" id="Flash" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="Flash.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param

name="bgcolor" value="#66ccff" /><embed src="Flash.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#66ccff"

width="550" height="400" name="Flash" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"

type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

Use this (and change the width/height/filename):

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

Thank you, Quad. -_- Didn't realize until today that the Flash provided code doesn't actually validate at all.

I didn't think of it either because I remember reading a post years ago that said that Macromedia fixed it. Guess I'm suffering from memory corruption...

so the "movie.swf" would be the equivalent of your file name correct?

Yep.

Server crashed and some posts were lost but the summary is: remember to upload your .swf.

Your code won't work in FireFox without the 'data' attribute in object.
