1. The *static publishing method* embeds both Flash content and
alternative content using standards compliant markup, and uses JavaScript to
resolve the issues that markup alone cannot solve
The advantages of the *static publishing method* are:
1. The actual authoring of standards compliant markup is promoted
2. Best embed performance
3. The mechanism of embedding Flash content does not rely on a scripting
language, so your Flash content can reach a significant bigger audience:
- If you have the Flash plug-in installed, but have JavaScript
disabled or a use a browser that doesn't support JavaScript, you
will still
be able to see your Flash content
- Flash will now also run on a device like Sony PSP, which has very
poor JavaScript support
- Automated tools like RSS readers are able to pick up Flash content
So, yes, you could just embed your SWF with the nested object tags, but you
would be missing out on some functionality. If that functionality is not
useful to you (like Flash version detection, and the Adobe Autoinstall if
you don't have Flash), then you don't need javascript at all. However, if
you truly have an audience that is Javascript averse, I dare say that most
of the internet looks terribad to them. :)
If I understand your requirement (from the original post) that you weren't
allowed to have open script tags in the body of your HTML and that the only
javascript you could use was that in referred files, it really seems to me
personally that you would actually be better off using the dynamic
publishing method. As it only involves setting up marked divs in the body
of the HTML. All your javascript could be contained in two reference files,
the swfobject.js file and as you had posited, a page1.js file that contained
all the declarations of the divs on your page that would be swfs.
If your requirement is NO JAVASCRIPT AT ALL, then putting in the nested
markup and crossing your fingers for good luck is what you would need to
do. But if the only requirement is keeping things in external files, then
either method allows for it. I personally prefer the dynamic publishing
method because the markup is cleaner, and it just makes a lot more sense to
me than the embed/object/nested IE if stuff that you have to place
otherwise.
Hope this helps.
