I have recently debated myself with the problem of embedding flash in a XHTML document and have it validated by the w3c validator. After some searches I have found an article with the satay method in A List Apart website.

After testing the method as described in A List Apart, it didn’t worked… so after a few more searches I have found the solution to the problem in designlegion.com. The problem is that the satay method as described originally is for Flash MX and I was working with Flash 9. When using Flash version 8 or superior the actionscript to load the movie is different, instead of _root.loadMovie(_root.path,0); it must be loadMovieNum(_root.path,0);

I hope this helps someone
