flash embed?

[Slapshot136]

so I have this code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flash/sample.swf" width="400" height="180">
  <param name="movie" value="data/test.swf">
  <param name="loop" value="false">
  alt : <img src="images/vase.png" height="180" width="400" alt="Gallery" />
</object>

only it doesn't work with internet explorer in windows XP (possibly others, but that one sticks out), what am I doing wrong?

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

Have you tried the basic version, to see if that has the same effect? This one should work in all browsers.

that worked, but now how do I get it to display a picture as an alternative for when flash is disabled?

<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
<img width="550" height="400" src="path"/>
</embed>
</object>
