[TxMt] Insert Flash object/embed tags?

[Sean Schertell]

Thanks again Allan for your helpful response.  My 2 cents: Since  
*lots* of folks use TM for web development, I hope you'll consider  
adding those fancy commands you shared with me into the default HTML  
bundle that ships with TM.

Cheers,
Sean
