Best way to insert Flash

[rfyffe]

Hi,

I'm working on adding a flash rotation to my homepage and just curious as to what is the best method for this. Currently I have a block setup and just insert the following code in the CMS:

Code: Select all

<div>
<object height="380" width="721" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" classid="clsid:your-class-id">
<param value="/media/uploads/flash/feature-panels.swf" name="movie" />
<param value="high" name="quality" />
<param value="transparent" name="wmode" />                   
<embed height="380" width="721" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia" wmode="transparent" quality="high" src="/media/uploads/flash/feature-panels.swf"></embed></object>
</div>


This works pretty good however I notice its not as smooth playing on Mac Firefox. Seems fine on IE 6, 7 and 8 though.

Is this the best way to work with flash?

Thanks
Robert

not really a flash expert.. there are some other methods you can try

this isnt really a magento question more of a plain HTML / web design question:
