In the Flash IDE publish settings you set the version number for your SWF, for example 8.
Your Flash Player within your browser also has a certain version number, which means it is capable of playing Flash content for that particular version or lower, e.g. the latest major version is version 10. SWFObject checks if the Flash Player is capable of playing a SWF by testing if a Flash Player version and a SWF version match, to avoid broken content. For example if you published your SWF as Flash 9 and a visitor only has a Flash Player 8 installed, there is a big chance that it will not show broken content or nothing at all. This because the Flash Player will always attempt to play all Flash content independent of its version, which is a bit of a design flaw. Unfortunately we still cannot use a scripting language or the plugin itself to read the SWF version yet, so you have to duplicate the published SWF manually within SWFObject. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SWFObject" group.
