static publishing is better in most ways, esp. for accessibility since it doesn't require javascript. however, it's not as quick and easy as dynamic, so most people prefer dynamic.
when you really boil it down, all dynamic publishing does is write the <object> for you. the end result should be the same: an <object> for flash-enabled browsers, and fallback content for those without flash. one extra perk for static publishing: since it's part of the markup and doesn't require JS, your SWF will show up in RSS feeds. plan to embed a flash-based video in your blog? use static publishing. - philip On Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 6:48 AM, bobbietodd <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for your response.
