How to embed a flash object on my website?

The Question

Simple, how do I embed a flash object of any kind (*.swf or if there any other options, them too) to my website?

Some Points

I don't need the code, I already have that, I just don't really understand it.
I'm looking for a good explanation on how to use the <embed> or <object> elements.
I've been searching around but couldn't find a clear explanation, even in the specs.

"The HTML OBJECT tag directs the browser to load Adobe Flash Player and then use it to play your SWF file."

Change "YOURFILENAMEHERE.swf" with your .swf file name.

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" id="Yourfilename" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="YOURFILENAMEHERE.swf">
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399>
<EMBED src="Yourfilename.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#333399 WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" NAME="Yourfilename" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED></OBJECT>
