Well. Everyone's had their say now, and a FAQ addition seems to be in the works to avoid future frustrations.
Thread closed then... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of devm8 Sent: Monday, 2 February 2009 4:49 PM To: SWFObject Subject: Re: How to enable the control buttons using SWFObject? Well, Philip. Finally some definite answer. This is what I needed Yes or No. Thanks. Ok talking about rudeness. Unfortunatelly from our private exchange I understud that you didn't know much about this object. Because you couldn't connect this object to the flash player at all, untill I showed you a piece of the source code. This is why I had doubts that you "bothered to read the SWFObject documentation before posting". And if you knew this, then all you needed is to say NO or it's imposible. Instead you found the time this is not a flash discussion and suggested to go somewhere else. And this I find very rude. Plus the question we discussed was about posibility playing .mp3 and other files. And telling that you answerd this particular question I find also rude. I am a very very long time developer, and I was particiapting in discussion groups since internet came in. And there always have been people going thru the questions and posting some postings without any content. Sorry for this rude respond, just couldn't leave it alone, even don't have much time, too much stuff on the plate.
