collective.swfobject is a Plone product that provides SWFObject for Plone.
What is SWFObject?
Offers two optimized Flash Player embed methods:
* a markup based approach
* a method that relies on JavaScript
It offers a JavaScript API that aims to provide a complete tool set for embedding SWF files and retrieving Flash Player related information
Utilizes only one small JavaScript file (10Kb / GZIPed: 3.9Kb)
Is the successor of SWFObject 1.5, UFO and the Adobe Flash Player Detection Kit
Intends to unify all existing Flash Player embed methods and provide a new standard for embedding Adobe Flash Player content
Why should you use SWFObject?
* Is more optimized and flexible than any other Flash Player embed method around
* Offers one solution for everybody: It shouldn't matter if you are an HTML,
Flash, or JavaScript developer, there should be something in it for everyone
* Breaks the cycle of being locked into vendor specific markup and promotes the use of web standards and alternative content
* Uses unobtrusive JavaScript and JavaScript best practices
* Is easy to use
Why should I use this add-on
I guess if you read this it is because you already want to use swfobject.
Because this add-on will keep the javascript swfobject up to date for you.
Because you don't want three versions of swfobject into the same site.
