Jay Dyke over at CartoonSmart.com has posted a free video tutorial on how to use Geoff Sterns' SWFObject, a Javascript solution to the recent unpleasantness
regarding Flash running in IE 6 on Windows. If you're a real visual learner and you need to see how it all works, this
is the place for you. Jay rambles a bit, but he gets the point across eventually. And the SWFObject is an elegant
solution once you're all set up.I'll warn you that this is a ~20MB ZIP file download. Jay is offering tutorial files as well as the Quicktime movie of the tutorial which is almost 50 MBs (somebody get that guy a copy of Captivate!), so...
You'll also note that Jay is using the older "FlashObject" which Stearns has renamed the "SWFObject" for reasons explained here.
1. I enjoyed the video - swfObject-basics explained very well...
