To check the xhtml on my Drupal site, I submitted the urls of all pages to the "w3 validator" at http://validator.w3.org/ . I have found that any pages using swf tags fail validation - with not just one or two errors, but 36 to be precise.

My site uses the Zen Classic theme, and I am using XHTML 1.0 transitional.

Do I need to be concerned that the invalid xhtml will compromise presentation of my audio and video flash files in various browsers?

I'm guessing that probably a lot of these errors are due to the use of the embed tag... Is there any way for me to address this issue?

Thanks,
s.

Same problem here. Anyone have any ideas?

Setting as a duplicate of #294163: Standards-compliant Flash (although technically this post came first, but you get the idea!).

Anyhow, the new dev work on SWF Tools 5 brings in standards compliant code if you run it with SWF Object 2. Validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict.
