Hi,

Currently I’m using the Flash Satay method to embed Flash in my HTML code and I’m happy because it validates.

However now that SWFObject is the latest incarnation and also seems small and easy to set-up would it be wise to switch to this or stick with the Satay method?

The satay method doesn't include the workaround for IE blocking Flash and ActiveX objects does it?

I would really recommend using the SWFObject over Flash Satay. Using Flash Satay would still require you to "Click to Activate", so that alone would make me not use it.

They also have a list with advantages over Flash Satay. http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/#whyitsbetter

Thanks for that link, so I guess it is worth switching.
