adding a step to the embedding process affect their market position? Do
you really think people will chose another format than Flash because
they have to spend an extra 5 minutes to embed the movie? What's the
alternative anyway, it's not just Flash that's affected by this ...
everything will require the extra step so it seems like a moot point.
It's easy for anyone using a scripting language. Just use the Base64
method described at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate/activexchanges.asp and then set your
URL as a variable above the <object> tag and pass it a Base64 encoded
version of your URL. Someone could easily write a utility to implement
something like that via a global find and replace.
I'm sure there will be 100 clever ideas to circumvent the whole problem
- I really don't think something this insignificant will change the face
of active content ... other than putting the phrase "Active Content"
into the ever-growing dictionary of technology and making the name Eolas
synonymous with words like bastard, asshole and SCO.
Anyway, that's just my opinion...
