best practice embedding flash?

[ojorus]

Hi everyone;

I wonder what is concidered the best practice how to embed flash-files at the HTML-site. I know that SWFObject for some time has been populare, but it doesn't seem to have been updated for over a year, and I've read som places that it fails from time to time with IE7.
Is it SWFObject that still is concideres as the best, or are there any other ways that are better?

kind regards ojorus.

SWFobject 2.0

I am not sure whats considered best, although SWFobject by far seems to be the standard. and based off the developers backgrounds, Geoff Stearns - (SWFobject script) & Michael Williams - (Adobe Flash player detection kit) & Bobby van der Sluis (UFO script) it seems its the future of SWF injection.

Also as atomic has pointed out in the past the IE issue should soon be resolved by Microsoft also.
