How to embed a flash object on my website?
Well, I must say this is embarrassing to ask, but to my defense I'll say that throughout my years of web development I've never encountered a case where embedding flash was absolutely necessary.
The Question
- Simple, how do I embed a flash object of any kind (*.swf or if there any other options, them too) to my website?
Some Points
- I don't need the code, I already have that, I just don't really understand it.
- I'm looking for a good explanation on how to use the
<embed>or<object>elements. - I've been searching around but couldn't find a clear explanation, even in the specs.
I'd award any good answer with an upvote, a cookie, and an accepted answer to the best :)

"The HTML OBJECT tag directs the browser to load Adobe Flash Player and then use it to play your SWF file."
