Because I am constantly busy working on something, I have never had time to actually put everything in words and pictures. But, since you got here, then you must have already seen some part of my work - and this is the way I’m talking.I'm 23, born in Romania, student at UPG Romania in software development field. I started from 0, mostly with basic stuff, and I’m evolving every day to an expert. I'm focused on freelancing projects, from small websites, to really heavy stuff. I know that I look and act differently from most developers, but this is why you will love to work with me! Constantin has posted 42 posts at DZone. You can read more from them at their website.

In HTML5, the <embed> element defines a container for an external application or interactive content (a plug-in). In this example, we will use it to display a Flash movie:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<embed src="stars.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="350" />

</body>
</html>
And the output will be: 
  The <embed> tag is supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari.   type="application/x-shockwave-flash" – specifies the MIME type of the embedded content For more informations, please visit http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-embed-element.html#the-embed-element.
