Embedding Shockwave Flash (.swf) using Valid XHTML

NOTE: So far, I haven't gotten this code to work. Another method of interest: swfobject.js (http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/).

<div class="embeddedmedia centertag">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
  data="/path/name_of_flash.swf" 
  width="100" height="100">
  <param name="movie" value="/path/FILENAME.swf" />
  <param name="loop" value="false" />
  alt : <a href="data/test.swf">test.swf</a> 
  <param name="quality" value="high"/>
</object><br />
<span class="smalltext">(Video is not captioned; no transcript.)</span>
</div>

• apparently "codebase" is optional:
  

  codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0"
