?1) That article is quite out of date, from Feb 2007. 2) The "improved method" talked about at the end is actually what we currently have today with SWFObject. A couple of years ago, SWFObject and UFO combined forces, and SWFObject 2.x is the result. We are currently on 2.2.
We've talked about doing a bug-patch 2.3 release, but at present the need for the release (ie, problems without workarounds) hasn't justified the work to do so, so we're in a slowed down maintenance phase for the time being. As far as I (and I believe the other co-maintainers of the project) am concerned, SWFObject 2.2 still represents the most robust, standards-compliant, and flexible solution for SWF embedding. We provide the markup-generator to assist web authors in creating the best markup/code for their site scenario. We also have several popular SWF-centric projects that we've coordinated compatibility with, including SWFFit and others. We think this represents a solid and stable ecosystem for SWF-in-HTML publishing use-cases. --Kyle From: Keith Purtell Sent: Sunday, December 26, 2010 2:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SWFObject] Other opinions about this Flash embedding article I'm very curious as to what other web developers think about this article regarding embedding Flash, which includes some discussion of swfobject. (There is also a reference at the end to an improved method developed in conjunction with the man to created swfobject, but the link appears broken.) http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashembedcagematch/ - Keith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SWFObject" group.
