Hey all, I've been working on a jQuery port of the SWFObject library. The goal is thus far:
What is the jQuery SWFObject plugin? The jQuery SWFObject plugin is an addon for jQuery that offers all the unique functionality of SWFObject while replacing and upgrading the internal functionality with those already available through jQuery. And what is SWFObject? SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content. And what is jQuery? jQuery is a small but power-packed bundle of javascript functions that make writing javascript quick and simple. Selecting elements on your page is like using CSS, learning and using functions requires minimal fuss, and the learning curve is sometimes described as "zero". What's difference between this plugin and regular SWFObject? First, it's smaller. Where SWFObject needs to create its own selectors / DOM loaders / and the like, that functionality has been removed and replaced with jQuery's pre-existing ones. Then, it's faster. There's little argument that jQuery's functionality is about as fast as complaint javascript can get, so now you get these same performance benefits in SWFObject. Finally, it's easier. Code looks cleaner with jQuery, and it's almost always easier to read and get what's going on. Having the power of SWFObject and the environment of jQuery is a best-of-both-worlds scenario. The project page is currently @ http://jquery.thewikies.com/swfobject/ I pass the entire swfobject test suite @ http://jquery.thewikies.com/swfobject/testsuite/ but there are still many jQuery optimizations that I would like to make within the script. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SWFObject" group.
