If users copy only the static embed code, and don't have a reference to swfobject.js, then they don't get any of the benefit of swfobject which is version detection and alt-content switching. This seems a rather futile approach.
--Kyle From: Philip Hutchison Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 1:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Generate Share Embed with SwfObject? it sounds to me like you want users to be able to copy the static embed code, not the dynamic embed code. if you're doing static embed code, the swfobject.js file is not a requirement. perhaps you wanted something like this? http://pipwerks.com/lab/swfobject/display-markup/example.html just be sure the URL for the SWF is an absolute URL. - philip On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 3:01 PM, Aran Rhee <[email protected]> wrote: For the swfobject.js include part the snippet could reference the static Google AJAX libraries API location of: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.1/swfobject.js Still messy since you should be placing the include and init code in the <head> of the document, rather than arbitrarily with the <body>. As you rightly said, just having the final generated code is not a workable solution. @jd - If you check out the embed code from YouTube etc, you can see that they have to remove any extra functionality such as Flash detection / ExpressInstall/ alt content etc and just hope for the best with their snippet. The only other way around it is to have the user pointed back to some server location which would dynamically create snippet code in the page like how ad servers work to display Flash ads - they either write js or iframe code into the calling page.

You could probably accomplish something like this, but the user is still gonna need to include swfobject.js to get the benefit of our library, so, giving them the "final" markup won't be that helpful cross-browser... you could give them the initial static markup that you use, and there's a number of ways that you could do that... but if you dynamically give them the markup that was generated by swfobject for your page, just for their browser environment, then any of their users who use it with a different browser will have a broken flash experience. Does that make sense? --Kyle -------------------------------------------------- From: "jd" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 8:25 AM To: "SWFObject" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Generate Share Embed with SwfObject? > > Sort of like that, but I was hoping there was a method on the > swfobject js that could be called to generate the generic cross > browser embed code.
