Example HTML code 1:

This example illustrates the use of the object element to embed a Macromedia Flash Movie.
The codeBase attribute of the object tag is missing from this example. You can check the version of the user's Flash player with this attribute in Internet Explorer, and if it does not exist or its version is lower than required, the browser pops up an installation dialog. Unfortunately, the use of the codeBase attribute causes problems in Firefox. See Example 2 for a cross-browser solution or the codeBase attribute for further details.
 
<object data="flash.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="300px" height="200px">
        <!-- If flash player is not installed, pluginurl helps the user to download it in Firefox -->
    <param name="pluginurl" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    
    <param name="movie" value="flash.swf" />  
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFE0" />  
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
</object>

Example HTML code 2:

This example illustrates the use of the object attribute with Macromedia Flash Player.
It clearly focuses on cross-browser support only, and it isn’t standards-compliant, but there isn't any standards-compliant cross-browser way to embed a Flash application into a document with Flash Player detection.
 
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="300" height="120"

    <!-- Optional params -->
    <param name="play" value="true" />
    <param name="loop" value="true" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
