While I don't maintain stripShow for a living, I wouldn't say no to a little donation, if you think the plugin is worth it...

With the upcoming 1.5 release of stripShow (yeah, it's got enough new crap I thought I'd bump it up to 1.5), stripShow will support Flash files.
This presents a bit of a challenge, because there are a lot of options available for Flash embedding. I want to use the most basic set of parameters possible, in order to be applicable to the majority of users.
So far here's what I've got:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="720" height="240" id="myMovieName" data="http://thaleia.local/~bhawkins/example/comics/20070813.swf"> <param name="movie" value="http://thaleia.local/~bhawkins/example/comics/20070813.swf" />
<param name="loop" value="false" />
</object>
You might notice that I've omitted the

The goals of making Valid XHTML and applicable to the majority of users may be mutually exclusive.
But try this article: Embedding Macromedia Flash While Supporting Standards
Hope it helps,

Thanks, Eddie. I'd seen that article, actually… it was the one I based my current code on.
I had not, however, seen the section that mentions how movies embedded using this method don't stream — that may be a problem.
Maybe I will have to forsake 100% validity in cases where people want to use Flash.

Nesting Flash two levels deep behind Flash menus or shells is obnoxious, and interferes with convenient use of utilities that allow viewing it at all over bad connections.
Given all the malware uses of embed, it's a good idea to restrict it in Web standards.
How about a move to flv's and software that gives users a choice of d/l, cache before play, or stream?
Given how there's increasing use of embedded videos as a tactic to distribute really nasty malware (I spent days recently cleaning up a friend's machine after she foolishly clicked on a link from a far less hostile social networking side than Kiddie-space), I'd support far greater standards restrictions on what's allowable to script Flash and similar content.

Yeah. embed isn't even included in XHTML at all.
That's a good philosophical question, but as a developer my main concern is supporting the formats people are using. In the world of webcomics, that's primarily GIF, JPG, PNG, and Flash.
