i am using html 4.01 transitional and iso-8859-1 encoding for my web page. i just tried to use the object, classid, param, etc. for encoding my .swf file in my web page, but when i try to validate it, it says "there is no attribute 'src', no attribute 'width', etc." i attached a file that contains one of my pages and the activex control that i copied and pasted from the macromedia website. do i need to use a DOCTYPE or encoding?

Try this...

<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="100" height="100">
<param name="movie" value="moviename.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="moviename.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100" height="100"></embed></object>

tried it, but it still says that it can't recognize 'scr', etc.

I just tried your code, and it is working fine for me. Where are you trying to validate this? I set up a directory on my local drive, saved your HTML to it, created a quick moviename.swf, and previewed it in Internet Explorer. Everything displayed fine.

it works fine when i display it on internet explorer also. i am using validator.w3.org, which is a html validation site. shouldn't it recognize macromedia flash attributes or should i assume that my .swf file will be displayed on all browsers (windows/mac/ect.)?
