Compatible html tag to show flash on html?

Question

There are various ways to show flash(swf file) on html, for example, object or embed tags.

I want to support IE6-9, FireFox3-, Chrome, Safari, and as many other browsers as possible.
(especially IE6-9)

But I also want to use simple tag as possible.

What is the best way to write html tag to show flash(swf file)?

Answer 1

I'd recommend SWFObject - it creates simple and easy to maintain code:

There's even a generator to automatically create the embed code:

Answer 2

SWFObject supports all browsers. in fact, if you build flex using Flash Builder 4 then it automatically uses swfObject to embed your swf into the html
