I'm using Bobby to check for accessibility of my site. I have one error and several warnings.

My error is "provide alternative content for each object, line 277", my object is a flash movie. Do you add it the same way you would an alt tag for an image?

Line 277

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="600" height="80">
<param name="movie" value="flash/indexFlash_071206.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />

You add it as you would an <object> element albeit <embed> is not a recognised W3C element. <OBJECT>...<p>Fallback</p>...</OBJECT>
