Description: Embed SWF is an easy to insert Java Script with an API to configure parameters. Quickly and easily add Flash content to a Web page without dealing with a large code block of HTML. Easy to configure with our API variables. Includes a missing plugin message box to replace the missing content. Embed SWF can also make sharing Flash content such as videos and games easy for anyone to add to another Website.

Personal Thoughts: As a Flash developer/animator adding and managing Flash content was annoying to deal with in Web pages, this Java Script greatly simplifies the process. The missing plugin message makes knowing that the Flash content cannot be displayed clear and keeps the same content area intact so the Web pages design/content won’t be obstructed.

Method:

var mySWF = new swfObject(); // define a new object
mySWF.api.divID // default flashContent####
mySWF.api.divClass // default (empty)
mySWF.api.width // default value 550
mySWF.api.height // default value 400
mySWF.api.id // default flashContent####
mySWF.api.align // default middle
mySWF.api.paramMovie // default (empty) !important, your swf file here
mySWF.api.paramQuality // default high
mySWF.api.paramBGcolor // default #ffffff (white)
mySWF.api.paramPlay // default true
mySWF.api.paramLoop // default true
mySWF.api.paramWMode // default window
mySWF.api.paramScale // default showall
mySWF.api.paramMenu // default true
mySWF.api.paramDeviceFont // default false
mySWF.api.paramSAlign // default (empty)
mySWF.api.paramAllowScriptAccess // default sameDomain
mySWF.api.createSWF() // function to embed the Flash object on the Web page

Example Usage:

var flash1 = new swfObject();
flash1.api.divID = “flash1”;
flash1.api.width = 620;
flash1.api.height = 320;
flash1.api.paramMovie = “http://myDomain.com/swfbin/flashtitle.swf”;
flash1.api.createSWf();
