Flash Embedding Cage Match and SWFFix
Written by on February 7th, 2007 in Ajax News.
How should we be putting Flash objects into our pages and Ajax applications? embed/object? SWFObject to get by the IE “feature” that makes you click on the area to activate it?
Bobby van der Sluis has written up the history of this lovely world of hacks in Flash Embedding Cage Match.
The good news it that a new project is in town SWFFix:
SWFFix is a project by Geoff Stearns and Bobby van der Sluis with the goal to create the ultimate JavaScript library for embedding Flash content.
Both Geoff and Bobby have made their marks by authoring SWFObject and UFO, which are currently the two most popular open source Flash embed libraries available.
Although both solutions are best of breed today, we believe that things can always be built better.
We teamed up to combine our knowledge and skills and to evolve both our current libraries into one new and improved solution: the SWFFix library.
