Hi,
I don't have much experience using SWF, but I think using the HTML img
element won't work in browsers. I think you need to use object and embed
elements, but I don't know the details. Perhaps others could provide such
details.

The DocBook XSL stylesheets don't currently support putting SWF in such
elements, but it could be done with a customization. Once you determine
what HTML code is needed, you could work backward to create a customization
to generate it.

Hi,

There's a technote (from Adobe) on the tags that you would want to use:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_4150

It does seem to be a simplified approach which includes the embed tag as the
alternative content within the object tag. It doesn't seem to have the
javascript that Warren mentioned, so I'm not sure if there's a more robust
approach out there.

That seems likely to work. Due to the apparent age of the document, I'd
test it in all the browsers I want to support to be sure, though.

Since you don't need to generate the
