After having shedload of errors in validating XHTML due to flash elements, I'm only stuck with just 2 errors finally. Although, I managed to delve into other errors over the Internet, these two is yet beyond me.

Would anyone have a clue as how to I get rid of these 2 errors & have my page validated for XHTML ???

>> Line 60 column 218: there is no attribute "allowScriptAccess".

...er" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwa


>> Line 60 column 280: there is no attribute "pluginspage".

...ation/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashpl

What exactly these two "allowScriptAccess" and "pluginspage" do, since if it doesn't do much, I suppose getting rid of it (provided the flash element plays well in cross browser) would be an option ???

You can't really make flash validate.

It is posible if you use the flash saty method form alistapart.com but really there's no piont.

The purpose of validation is to go through the process of checking the site and knowing about the errors. You don't have to remove everything. It's the process of validating that is important - not the actuallity of being valid.
