I am trying to embed a flash slide show in XHTML strict.

This is the code I am using and that is not working:

<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”/slideshows/newlyweds.swf” width=”500″ height=”500″>
<param name=”movie” value=”/slideshows/newlyweds.swf” />
</object>

I first used:
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”newlyweds.swf” width=”500″ height=”500″>
<param name=”movie” value=”newlyweds.swf” />
</object>

This code works fine, the flash file and images are in the same folder as the html file.
However, I have many flash slide shows for many pages so I am trying to put them in sub-folders (slideshows/newlyweds.swf). When I do that the flash file is not showing up on my html page. I tried linking them directly, http://www.example.com/slideshows/newlyweds.swf but that didn’t work either.

So this is how it goes

PS:

Have a look at that video from youtube:
