SWFObject's registerSWF is a nice add-on to ensure people have the correct version of flash, but it isn't necessary a majority of the time. sites like youtube already provide embed code using <embed>, and this code doesn't provide swfobject's version-checking benefits, either. the example i provided *does* include alternate content; i'll i've done here is provide a standards-friendly alternate to the <embed> code (using swfobject's double-object approach). no more, no less.
i suppose i could modify my example to include the registerSWF code, which can be placed in the body so long as it's after the embed code. - philip On Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 5:56 AM, Getify Solutions, Inc. <[email protected]>wrote: > 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.
