Editing Flash HTML settings 335
Note: If you use both the object and the embed tags, use identical values for each attribute
or parameter to ensure consistent playback across browsers. The parameter
swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0
is optional, and you can omit it if you don’t want to check for
the version number.
Parameters and attributes
The following tag attributes and parameters describe the HTML code created by the Publish
command. You can refer to this list as you write custom HTML to show Flash content. Unless
noted, all items apply to both the
object and embed tags. Optional entries are noted. Parameters
are used with the
object tag and are recognized by Internet Explorer, but the embed tag is
recognized by Netscape. Attributes are used with both the
object and embed tags. When
customizing a template, you can substitute a template variable (identified in the Value section for
each parameter in the list that follows) for the value. For more information, see “Customizing
HTML publishing templates” on page 330.
Note: The attributes and parameters listed in this section are shown in lowercase letters purposely to
comply with the XHTML standard.
