== Compatibility with FlashObject
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document is intended for users of FlashObject, a (much older) swf embedding plugin that inspired swf_fu.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can choose to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) keep both. They won't interfere and +flashobject_tag+ will continue to use the older SWFObject 1.5 library.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) remove FlashObject:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
script/plugin remove flashobject_helper
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also manually remove <tt>javascripts/flashobject.js</tt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+swf_fu+ will take over the +flashobject_tag+ and will use the new SWFObject 2.2 library.
|
||
|
|
This should not have impacts as long as:
|
||
|
|
* your swf path is absolute (e.g. "/path/to/my_flash.swf"). If it is relative, move your swf file from 'public/' to the new 'public/swfs/' asset folder
|
||
|
|
* you include the default javascripts (otherwise you need to include 'swfobject' explicitely and stop including 'flashobject')
|
||
|
|
* you don't use the javascript object before the page is loaded. SWFObject 2.2 makes the changes to the web page later
|
||
|
|
* you don't rely on the +verify_file_exists+ option (it doesn't do anything anymore)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In either case 1 or 2, you change existing calls to +flashobject_tag+ for +swf_tag+ at your leisure.
|
||
|
|
The interface is similar and the main differences are some options name changes:
|
||
|
|
:flash_id => :id
|
||
|
|
:variables => :flashvars
|
||
|
|
:background_color => options[:parameters][:bgcolor]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Moreover, the following defaults are gone:
|
||
|
|
:flashvars[:lzproxied]
|
||
|
|
:parameters[:scale]
|
||
|
|
:parameters[:bgcolor]
