<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Interesting approach. I think if you were to add
the flashvars, this could be really useful. I don't know of any tool that will
handle the flash vars for me, so that would be really nice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For plain vanilla conversion, it is probably
easier to use the html template approach. That is, pick a swfobject template
from Flash's publishing options. Of course, you have to have one installed,
but there are several out there already written. It might be interesting to
have this group check them out and report back on the relative merits of each.
Here are a couple I have just googled up:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A
href="http://flog.fluid.com/experiments/swfobject-extension/">http://flog.fluid.com/experiments/swfobject-extension/</A> :
this one apparently overwrites the default template. Not sure I'm happy about
that, so I haven't tried using it. An advantage is that it ships as an mxp, so
is dead easy to install</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A
href="http://ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=111">http://ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=111</A> :
you have to put this into the HTML templates folder yourself, but the path is
provided.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A
href="http://www.mail-archive.com/osflash@osflash.org/msg10917.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/osflash@osflash.org/msg10917.html</A> :
this one has a dead link to the template, but some good hints on how you could
add the swfobject code to your swfobject template without breaking
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are also a couple at the Flash Exchange.
One is a macromedia active content thing that uses their script, not Geoff's.
But this one looks intriguing in that it apparently lets you choose to use
express install without hand editing the html. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Personally I use an html template that was given
to me by a friend on another listserv. I don't know that he has it posted
anywhere. It did not turn up on my google search.</FONT></DIV>
