How to Embed Flash With ColdFusion for Internet Explorer 6
Internet Explorer 6 allows for the embedding of streaming video such as a Flash movie. ColdFusion lets you generate dynamic variables you use to determine the Flash movie you want to display on your site. You can determine the movie from user input or from your own calculations. You first use the "object" property and add the "embed" tag to specify the movie.

Create the "Object" tag. The Object tag is for older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 that use plugins for generating HTML content. The following code creates the Object tag with the ColdFusion variable to define the movie location:
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="500" id="#mymovie#">

Add the "embed" tag for other browsers. The following code embeds the movie for your other readers:
<EMBED src="#mymovie#" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="600"
NAME="#mymovie#" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> </EMBED>
