title: Best way to embed Flash for modern browsers using HTML5?
body: <p>This is such a common thing that I imagine there must be a "good" way of cleanly embedding Flash into HTML5? I'm only interested in supporting the following browsers: FF3, FF4, IE7, IE8, IE9, Chrome and Safari.</p>
  
  <p>I know there's some Javascript solutions like <a href="http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/" rel="noreferrer">SWFObject</a>, but that seems like overkill. Isn't there just a clean, quick and easy way using HTML?</p>
  
  <p>Additionally: Is there any downside to just using <code>&lt;embed&gt;</code>? It was previously depreciated by the W3C, but I understand it's back in HTML5. So why not just use it instead of faffing around with <code>&lt;object&gt;</code>?</p>
