Developer forum

Well, since I just joined this great new website I thought I'd might contribute something to the forum. Although I'm not a developer I can tell you how to do this, so here we go:

I tried to post the code how to do this on here, but the code gets screwed up on posting it, probably since it get's parced or something, so I'll just refer to an example than.

Check out www.wolky.nl

You'll see two things:
- A reference to a Javascript file with a function WriteFlashObject
- A use of this function

It's really that simple

Hi Juriaan

Thanx for your post, and by the way, you are the first poster on the website ... congrats.

Do you know if there are any performance-differences in the two methods ??

The method used on wolky.nl is not standards compliant. It is just bypassing the "click to activate" part. DynamicWeb actually does this by itself if you insert flash via the image tags.

SWFObject is based on the Flash Satay method that is standards compliant, and also provides an alternative content to users who do not have Flash or Javascript enabled.

Ahh that's good to know, i'll communicated that internally here!
