Re: [videoblogging] Eolas
Heh, JD hangs out here! For those of you who don't know - JD has been helping people solve their Director and Flash problems for as long as I can remember... and, as a (now ex-) member of Direct-L since 1995, I can honestly say that it is well worth listening to this man's advice. Cheers for the info John.

I haven't installed the optional Microsoft update to IE6 yet (or the IE7 beta), but from all I've heard, video plays just the same as before... it's interactivity which requires that initial click before receiving focus. If you've got a pause/play/volume interface within your video (as with FLV skins) then someone in a new Microsoft system will see a "Please click" message during mouseover, and then they'll be able to shuttle the video. (I'm not sure what happens if you use house chrome for playback controls, a la QuickTime, Real, or WMP... suspect it's the same.) Summary: Should display fine regardless, but it's interactivity with the video which is at the center of the dispute. I've seen lots of people hacking together their preferred solutions over the past month, but the best set of general links and recommendations I've seen is still at the Adobe Active Content Center: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/activecontent/ jd -- John Dowdell .

Re: [videoblogging] Eolas
Hello,From what I understand of it, yes, this is something we have to be concerned over if you are using in-page players. (If you don't use in-page players, then no, this is NOT something you have to be concerned over.) Basically, the and tags aren't going to works as they used to work.I think what is going to happen now, in IE's case, is that if you have them, a window will pop up and ask you if you want to run/play them. If you just link to movie files (with the or elements) then you should be fine.See yaOn 4/6/06, Stan Hirson, Sarah Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Should we be concerned about Microsoft's making changes to IE to conform to the Eolas decision?
