I want to put a flash movie or game in some of my pages, but I have heard there are a few ways of doing it and some are incompatible with certain browsers or cause other problems. Which is the best way?
I am using wfchannel.

Did you try the usual way?

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="140" height="80">
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.yoursite.com/yourfile.swf">
  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <embed src="http://www.yoursite.com/yourfile.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="140" height="80">embed>
object>

I've just tried it, it's caused a problem with IE, but firefox works fine (dunno about other browsers)

The swf file appears the right size in ff but in IE its tiny, any idea why?
