SWFObject update, embed flash version 2

I have explain in a previous article how to use SWFObject to embed your flash clip. The method was working with SWFObject version 1.

A new version has been released few weeks ago and the syntax change a bit. Here is the new way to use SWFObject:

First create the container and give it an id:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

<head>
<title>SWFObject v2.0 dynamic embed - step 1</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="myContent"></div>
</body>

</html>

Then include your js file and call the swfobject function:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.embedSWF("myContent.swf", "myContent", "300", "120", "9.0.0");
</script>

For more information and advanced option have a look at the SWFObject wiki page

Download the script: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/downloads/list (choose the first in the list).
