Thanks Bill... this lead me to this:

<object data="images/flash/intro.swf" width="70" height="400">
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.ca
b#version=5,0,0,0" width="70" height="400" style="margin-left:-70px;">
<param name=movie value="images/flash/intro.swf"> <param name="quality"
value="high">
</object>
</object>

Which validates to HTML 4.01 (strict) and is working in Moz 1.0, Opera 6.03,
and IE 6.02

'cause that's what you do at 3:00 AM <grin>
