How many times have you seen websites that have the odd peice of flash and they profess to be SEO professionals and their site does not validate. It pains me. It so much easier than you can imagine.

Just paste the code below and add your own domain, folder for the flash. You may notice this nees to be done twice. The only other thing you need to do is add the height and width of the flash file.

Background Image Accessability

For those who are into the accessability side of things who think of others; you can also add a background image for those browsers that do not have flash enabled. Helping the reader of your site understand in picture form what is supposed to be in the space where the flash is attached.

[copy code below and paste into your page]

<!-- xhtml compliant flash code from http://www.seodesignstudio.com/ -->
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.domain.com/flash-folder/your-swf-file.swf" width="add width" height="add height">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.domain.com/flash-folder/your-swf-file.swf" />
<img src="http://www.domain.com/images/flash-replacement-image.jpg" width="add width" height="add height" alt="no flash" />
</object>

I hope you find this useful. Told you it was easier than you thought.
