I've been using dreamweaver for a couple of months, so I'm still in the learning process. Lately I have become intrested in web compliance and i have found when you <embed> flash (.swf) the code it generates isn't valid xhtml transitional. When my hosts finishes its update I will give you the link to the invalid pages i wish to correct.

Yes, there are other methods that do validate:

That code validates, and you're more than welcome to it (it's HTML, so there's nothing I could do to stop you anyway.)

Nice site.. ,visit the blog that LADYNRED post it will help, My entire website is using a FLASH but still a valid XHTML, i think 99%

AM using dreamweaver 8, but i still handcode my flash code to make sure my page is a valid xhtml.

Its a good thing to make ur site a valid xhtml.
It will make ur code more proffessional.. Valid XHTML sites by default is search engine friendly because search engine spiders can read your site fast.

A site doesn't HAVE to be XHTML to be search engine friendly. It SHOULD be valid HTML and semantically correct. An good level for even new designers would be HTML 4.10 STRICT rather than Transitional or even XHTML Transitional.
