Phillip, thanks for the response. > I responded to your request on the issues > list.http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/issues/detail?id=565#c2
I posted a follow-up comment, > Failure to use suitable fallback > content would be bad for folks who can't install Flash Player for whatever > reason. Perhaps, but remember that the people on our site are there because they purchased a membership to a site of Flash-delivered training. If they are unable to install Flash, they have a larger, more systemic problem than whether or not the page looks pretty. My specific company currently operates under the assumption that our users fall in two categories: those to have Flash, and those to need it. You have to consider the possibilty that the requirements for all websites are not the same. > Since you're using audio and video for training, what about creating an > HTML5 version?

I'm not sure why anyone would want to use an Apple device :) but trust me, that is on our list of things to accomplish. Of course, that won't help people not using a browser that supports HTML5 (IE7, IE8) not to mention that HTML5 still has a long way to go. We use JWPlayer, and are dependant upon the JavaScript API it exposes to the track the progress of our user's training. Unfortunatley, the features of the HTML JWPlayer have not caught up to the Flash JWPlayer so it's not quite that easy. We're waiting a bit until things tighten up a bit around the HTML5 JWPlayer.
