// -- End Hiding Here -->
</script> <script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Hide this script from old browsers --
//document.write('<embed SRC="images/' + image + '" width="753" height="410">')
document.write('<center>');
document.write('<embed src="' + image + '" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="753" height="410"></embed>')

<param > tag is use for the <object> tag.
<object> tag is read by ie... i don't believe ie reads the <embed> tag.

The OBJECT tag is for Internet Explorer 3.0 or later on Windows 9x/2000/NT/ME/XP platforms or any browser that supports the use of the Flash ActiveX control. The "classid" must appear exactly as it does in this example. The "codebase" attribute must also appear exactly as it does in this example; it tells the browser where to find Flash Player for automatic download. Internet Explorer 3.0 or later on Windows 9x/2000/NT/ME/XP will prompt the user with a dialog asking if they would like to auto-install the Flash Player if it's not already installed. This process can occur without the user having to restart the browser.

The EMBED tag is for Netscape Navigator 2.0 or later, or browsers that support the use of the Netscape-compatible plugin version of Flash Player. The "pluginspage" attribute tells the browser where to direct the user to find Flash Player for download if the Player is not already installed. The user would then need to download and run the installer and restart their browser.

to do what you want look at the examples on this page:

actually after looking at your code, my second link may be wrong... maybe thats not what your trying to do... but the idea is still the same... if your passing a variable/value pair, then you can use 'flashVars' the same way.

Well, basically I've just told you how to insert other lines to the code you're using, you can figure out the structure yourself by looking at the source of an html-file in which a swf has been embedded
