The below is a quick example of how to initiate swfobject - a script to to embed flash objects in html - on an html page.
var flashvars = { xmlLocation: pathToXml }; var params = { wmode:'transparent' }; var attributes = { id: "flashEditor", name: "flashEditor", width: 280, height: 400 }; swfobject.embedSWF("/flash/editor.swf", "cycleContainer", "280", "400", "9.0.0","/flash/gallery.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
