I’m still using the previous 1.5 version of SWFObject
(I only found out recently that a new version had been released.)
I posted a brief instruction on another board on how to implement it.
It’s targeted at GL users and might be easier for you to get started:
1) drop a javascript object into the head section of the page and link
it to “swfobject.js” wherever that is located in your site. In source it
should look similar to this:
(Mine is stored in a folder called “3-scripts”.)
The nice thing about SWFObject is that it will display alternative
content when javascript or Flash are not available. I use an image the
same size as the Flash clip for that, so visitors will at least see
something worth looking at. You can also add text or other content.
2) place your alternative content on the page and wrap it in a
width=”640″ border=”0″>
3) below that add another smallish script block in source view to feed
the necessary parameters like file path, name, size, Flash version no.,
bg colour etc.:
&n bsp;
SWFObject will then replace the entire
Flash clip on page load if Flash is available, otherwise visitors will
se your alternative content.
Hope that helps!
