Embedding a flash object into a web page is not always the straightforward affair it should be. Different browsers, compliance issues, lack of javascript or flash plug-ins all affect the end user experience. It is the content of the Flash file that the user should be experiencing not the technology behind the scenes.Fortunately there is a solution over at http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/ufo/ called Unobtrusive Flash Objects (UFO) v3.22. This helps tremendously when placing Flash in web pages and best of all it is free. The author describes UFO as:

“UFO is a DOM script that detects the Flash plug-in and embeds Flash objects (files with the .swf extension). It has its roots in the Web Standards community and is designed to support W3C standards compliant, accessible and search engine friendly web design.”
