Embedding Flash

“There seems to be a lot of confusion about the code needed to properly embed Flash objects within a website: it’s the most frequently asked question at this site’s forum. The rise of profiling sites like Myspace (who filter lots of codes) and the recent Eolas patent enforcement have thrown even more confusion into the mix. In this article, I’ll try to clearly align the best options for Flash embedment. I’ll also mention the most common pitfalls, and their workarounds.” - via jeroenwijering.com

My method-of-choice to embed has to be SWFObject. It’s able to not only take care of what it needs to, but also integrates with several other techniques including SWFAddress. Another thing I like about it is the ability to work well within Wordpress. At first I had to fall back on some embed techniques and plugins, but after reading this post about using multiline comments, I am up and running with SWFObject again.
