Flash and accesibility

[gregerly]

Hello,

I have a XHTML Strict document that I am trying to use some flash on, but I'm having problems with validating the doc. I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 to develop with, and Dreamweaver does two things to add flash to a document. First, it uses javascript to create an swfobject, and include the flash file that way first (so you don't have to click it for it to work). Then it adds a <noscript> tag that will add the flash with the <object> tag. The code for the noscript tag is below:

<noscript>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" width="780" height="155" title="Fresno Fusion">
<param name="movie" value="../swf/flash_header.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="../swf/flash_header.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="780" height="155"></embed>
</object>
</noscript>
 

When I remove the code above, the page will validate, however leaving it in will not validate in an XHTML doc. Is there a way to include the Flash, and have it validate?

Thanks in advance!

This sounds like an HTML question to me. Im not too sure, i hate validations.
