I am getting this error in Cynthia says:
Rule: 12.4.4 - Identify all OBJECT elements, within a FORM element, that do not have an explicit LABEL association.
* Failure - OBJECT Element at Line: 399, Column: 3 in FORM Element at Line: 50, Column: 1
It is referring to the flash <object> on the page. I don't understand what the issue is and how to fix it. Any advice appreciated.

Use SWFObject to add your Flash movies. That way you even test if the
browser is capable before applying it:

Hi Angela,
Try adding a 'title' attribute (with appropriate text equivalent or
description) to the objects.

I also found the following:

It suggests that a text equivalent or description is required within the
object element - after the opening tag and before the closing tag.
