No, for Flash if you place the EMBED tag inside of the Object, IE Win

95/98/NT work quite well together with other browsers.

If you are combining DHTML and Flash then you can still combine pages

but it is best to use Dreamweaver 2 because even simple things can get

complicated quickly providing new features for both Netscape 4, IE 4 and

maintaining compatibility with old browsers. Only IE 4+ supports the

advanced Flash DHTML features such as transparency so far.
