Just want to clarify that I did not work on the MPH site, I am using simular approach to them in terms of displaying flash content. I find it really nifty and by far the best approach
do any members of the list see any draw backs to the use of flashObject?
is there a better method of putting flash in pages?
thanks >> SS

Hi Sam,
Is there a reason why http://www.makepovertyhistory.org/video/?pageVideo=/flv/clickuk512k.flv does not display in Firefox v1.0.3 ?
Reading the associated articles it should do, and when it doesn't it should display an alternative text version, though MPH probably forgot.

Hi List,
I visited the www.makepovertyhistory.org website last night and was pleased to see that the site uses Geoff Sterns FlashObject. This seems to reaffirm my opinion that the flashObject method of placing flash in the page is more approprate than the MM object / embed code and flash satay or other technics used elsewhere.
I consider this to be a real world issue in developing modern websites, standard or otherwise since flash and rich media is often an important part of the build of the site (clients and user like it when it works well)
So I wanted to know what the list thinks of the flashObject technic and other alternatives out there?
