Check for the flash plugin 2. Use a valid method to load the flash object 3. Stream the flash I've not managed to do all three at once. My workaround is to load a tiny flash file to do 1. and 2. and then load the main flash object to do 2. and 3. But I don't like Flash anyway. -- Iain ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Re: [WSG] Flash Standards Validation
the noraml embed tag will choke on validation as it is a depreciated tag several ppl have added the work around already what i do for flash checking is this open up flash and change the canvas size to 1 pixel by 1 pixel and in the actionscript i just add this line of code getURL (main.html) in this case main.html is my main page and export it in the lowest version of flash that u will accept in your site, u use 6. then on the index page where u want flash checked u add the movie 1st thing then after that u add the code for getting or upgrade your flash now, i also add lots of search engine goodies on that page so what happens is that when the page is loaded if the user has at least flash 6 then it redirects them to the main page if not the movie wont be processed and will show the add/upgrade page make sense? -- Original Message -- From: Olajide Olaolorun [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 07:50:34 -0500 I am setting up a site that requires flash but i notice that some of the needed tags for some browsers are not valid...

Hi, As I've not had a strong cup of Earl Grey this morning, this reply could be as useful as (2) left shoes, but the following url has a pretty solid standards compliant flash-embed method: http://blog.deconcept.com/2004/10/14/web-standards-compliant- javascript-flash-detect-and-embed/ C On Wednesday, November 17, 2004, at 05:47 AM, csslist wrote: the noraml embed tag will choke on validation as it is a depreciated tag several ppl have added the work around already what i do for flash checking is this open up flash and change the canvas size to 1 pixel by 1 pixel and in the actionscript i just add this line of code getURL (main.html) in this case main.html is my main page and export it in the lowest version of flash that u will accept in your site, u use 6. then on the index page where u want flash checked u add the movie 1st thing then after that u add the code for getting or upgrade your flash now, i also add lots of search engine goodies on that page so what happens is that when the page is loaded if the user has at least flash 6 then it redirects them to the main page if not the movie wont be processed and will show the add/upgrade page make sense? -- Original Message -- From: Olajide Olaolorun [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 07:50:34 -0500 I am setting up a site that requires flash but i notice that some of the needed tags for some browsers are not valid...
