another thing i'll mention only because its a personal pet peeve of mine..
go to
http://12xamateur.com/index2.html
notice the flash video on the top of the page , when you put your mouse over it it gives this gay ie message " click here to activate this control "
see my example of how to render the swf without having that stupid message show up
http://ytmnd.webspacemania.com/12clicks/
its done with this js file ( right click save as )
http://ytmnd.webspacemania.com/12clicks/flashobject.js
where you normally use flash embed code you use this instead
<script type="text/javascript" src="flashobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<div id=flashcontents>');
var fo = new FlashObject("theflashfile.swf", "animationNames", 650, "65", "8", "#000000");
fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain");
fo.addParam("quality", "high");
fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
fo.write("flashcontents");
</script>
</div>
