Thanks for the input from everyone. What I was looking for is the static embed code for the users to copy, I was just hoping that since I had used swf object on the page to embed the palyer that there might be a swfobjet.staticEmbed() method or something that would use the parameters i already setup to generate the static embed.
I'll have to check on our requirements, but i like the idea of using a js embed with swfobject so that every embedded version of the play can take advantage of the browser detection/etc, I'll look into that. -John On Feb 6, 10:50 am, Philip Hutchison <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
