Return of the Blue Lego Posted at Apr 9, 10 by Grant Skinner « Colorgasm Music Visuali... | BitmapSlice9: Scale9 fo... »
As some people have noticed, Apple has eliminated the blue lego icon that indicates a missing plugin on the iPad. I believe that this is a not so subtle way of shifting users from believing that the iPad browser is lacking something, to believing that the site they are viewing is broken. In response to this, I've created the blueLego edition of SWFObject 2.2. It works exactly the same as regular SWFObject, except it will display the blue lego icon, with a link to Adobe's get Flash Player page on iPhone, iPod, and iPad. As of April 13, this page correctly displays content explaining to iPad users why Flash is unavailable on their device. This is the same content shown on the iPhone, which is described here. You're obviously free to modify the iDevice alternate content or the code itself to suit your own needs. It is released under the MIT license, and you can download it by clicking here. Whether it is useful for production or not, I leave to you. It was created more as a statement than anything. You can test it by pointing your iDevice browser to this url: http://gskinner.com/playpen/bluelego/ http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2010/04/return_of_the_b.html _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
