Yes, this is the main issue: different behaviour depending of the platform, the plugins, and the browser relationship. <embed> plugin should not interfere with the presentation, if using width/height of 1px, but I can't garanti that, with all plugins/browser/platform combinaison. > I should rephrase my question : is it possible, with a flash plugin, > to load external sound files instead of embedding the sound file > within a .swf ? That would be easier to maintain. > Yes, that's how youtube and mp3 web player does it, but depending of the flash player installed, that may require additionnal codecs installation as well, for example gnash sound/video backend is based on gstreamer, and trigger installation of required plugins if needed. (But I bet/hope that's not the case if using PCM/wav codecs). Another alternative (not necessarly better), would be to do to conversion on the fly, using the ming library: Use a php-ming script that output swf bytecode for playing a wav file, That would be nearly the same script than: http://www.gazbming.com/getexample.php?id=85 But using $movie->output() instead of $movie->save() to output the swf bytecode directly from the script, and allow to <embed> the .php file directly from html. -- Johan Euphrosine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Pokersource-users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/pokersource-users
