Hi,
As you all know, when you insert the code for
a flash movie, IE automatically downloads
Flash player if the visitor doesn't have it installed,
or if he has a version earlier than the one written
in the codebase atribute.
How can I avoid automatic downloading of the flash player?
Is it enough to delete the OBJECT tag, that is, instead
of:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" width="550" height="400" id="myMovieName">
<param name="movie" value="myFlashMovie.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<embed src="myFlashMovie.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="550" height="400" name="myMovieName" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>
to just use:
<embed src="myFlashMovie.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="550" height="400" name="myMovieName" align="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
I tried it on a few computers and it worked just fine.
What is your experience? Is this enough or is there
some other approach for avoiding automatic download?
