[WSG] will this ever validate?(swfobject 2.0)

2008-05-01 Thread kevin mcmonagle

Hi,

Im trying  swf object 2.0.

http://www.seaviewnightclub.com/mockup2.html

Im using the static-standards compliant method that uses conditional 
comments.
I thought it would validate better than this.  Theres a lot of unclosed 
errors on the param tags. Should i just self close those i wonder? 
Theres also errors with ids being defined twice.


Is anyone else usign swfobject 2.0 here, if so are you using dynamic or 
static method and why?

All the javascript methods for embedding flash use a script within the 
page to replace a div with the flash code, which is another way 
validation fails.  If you write an unobtrusive script that adds the 
script tag to the page once the dom loads, you can write  a fallback for 
the flash for non-script people and everyone should be happy.


A proper fallback would be an image, or paragraph outlining the content 
of the movie etc.

Embedding flash has always been and issue and always will be in HTML 
4.01. There are lots of methods but there are problems with all of 
them (as i'm aware). I think the best way of doing it is follow what 
the SWFObject documentation recommends.
 
You could always dynamically include the Flash, but that would cause 
problems for users without JavaScript.
 
Im not aware of the HTML 5 developments (i know, i know, i should be 
but im a busy guy) but maybe there is a fix in the future.
