Hi Larry. re: docs - Documentation which explains all the params etc is of course available, and is linked to from the project home page: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation
having a read of the API: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api and the FAQ: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/faq is also useful. re: attributes - You do not need to set the id or name attributes unless you want it changed from the target div you specify in your embedSWF() call. By default, your new <object> will inherit the target's id. The only time the attribute params need to be set is if you are doing flash < > browser communications through the ExternalInterface classes. re: layout - As SWFObject 2.x OVERWRITES the target <div> with the swf <object> tag, you will want to apply your stying to a wrapper div in order to ensure the styling remains after the <div> is overwritten. You would want something like the below ... <div id="Background"> <div id="flashtargetdiv> alt content here. This is the div SWFObject will replace with an object tag. </div> </div> ... Also, if you Flash content is BEHIND all of your other content, then your wmode should = "opaque", not "transparent" (as you are not needing to show anything through the Flash file). This will lessen CPU usage etc. Cheers, Aran SWFObject 2.x replaces the target div On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 1:06 PM, Larry <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm not grokking swfobject 2.0 at all.
