[SWFObject] FO Integration Kit problems - continued

Mon Oct 9 04:47:54 PDT 2006

Hi Geoff and Aran,
Thanks for your help!

Its great to get back to work after a day off (without computers) and
see this kind of feedback.

@Aran, 
Thanks for getting the concept working with the original MM
JavaScriptFlashGateway.js at least I can continue (on planning) with my
work.
You asked about '1 weirdness in IE' but I can't replicate that. In IE I
cant 'ping' at all to JS. What you might be seeing is that every time
when you click the loadButton the function checks if flash is already
loaded and if so it removes the current flash before reloading it again.
(I had added this feature as a (nasty) workaround but it only works for
static flash not for flash that uses external data like in my case .flv)

Seems smart to me that you create the FlashProxy in the HEAD only once
and never destroy it, this saves on overhead every time when flash gets
dynamically loaded.
Only I wonder how this should be done in case multiple flash will be
loaded to a page (maybe by setting a max to the amount of flash loaded
into a page).

@Geoff,
Yes, (like Aran already replied) I've used the latest intkit I've
downloaded it last Saturday night.
I'll set up a test page with both my and Aran's improvements. I'll start
working on it now (after cup of coffee).

Cheers all,
David

eeentiresting... as long as the fscommand code is in the page, and  
the IE version is using that method it should work fine with no clicks..

can anyone set up a test page for this? something that drops in a  
flash movie on the fly vs. embedded 'normally'?
