SWFObject is primarily (almost entirely) concerned with just getting a SWF file onto a webpage. That SWF file may be an FLV player, a flash animation, a chat widget, or any number of things. It can of course also be a specially designed SWF that loads and plays live video streams (the rtmp or whatever). The choice and building of the **SWF** is where all that decision making goes. **SWFObject** will only assist in proper and standards-compliant (so far as is possible) effort to get whatever that SWF is physically loaded onto a webpage in the browser.
Some things to note: 1. SWFObject and this list are primarily for supporting the library, not the usage of the SWF once it properly loads on a page into the flash plugin. >From time to time, when we have time, we delve into deeper issues, but we try to keep that low so that there's less noise for people who come here looking for simple help with getting a SWF to load up. 2. SWFObject exposes all the same settings and parameters for SWF loading and initialization as does normal markup, or any other full featured (but certainly less robust than ours!) swf toolkit library. 3. We provide a code generator that will ask you many of the most common initialization questions and generate the markup/code for you. http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/generator (documentation) 4. There are many helpful tutorials (and examples and cooperative libraries) out in the wild that can also be of assistance, such as those listed here: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/links I hope this gets you on the right track. --Kyle -------------------------------------------------- From: "PaulK" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 10:19 AM To: "SWFObject" <[email protected]> Subject: Using SWFObject for live flash webcasts > > I'm doing live webcasts, currently using MS Media, but planning to > switch over to Flash.
