The "flash satay" article is deeply bizarre, an example of cargo cult
coding. The author randomly pokes around with bad, non-standard, generated
flash embeding, until he comes up with... erm, the obvious way of using
the object tag (that is, you put the URL of the object you want to embed
in the "data" attribute), that he would have figured out in 30 seconds if
he'd looked at the damn standard.
IE has (or had, perhaps) a bug that makes that method sub-optimal (it
won't start playing the flash movie till the whole thing has downloaded),
but there's a workaround: http://blog.gilluminate.com/?b=20041208120812 .
