embedSWF

Simple, modern flash dynamic embedding scheme.

Usage

1. Put embedSWF.js & expressInstall.swf in the same folder.

2. Include embedSWF.js:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/embedSWF.js"></script>

3. Embed a flash:

    embedSWF('someId', {
        src: 'path/to/flash.swf',
        width: 640,
        height: 320
    });

4. Destroy a flash you have embeded:

    embedSWF.destroy('someId');

Know Issue

Most time, path of the "expressInstall.swf" can be automatically generated. But if you merge embedSWF.js to other file, the path may be wrong. Otherwise, if you use the module loader "seajs" or "ozjs", they load the script and then remove it, so we could't get the path. If the "expressInstall.swf" path is Incorrect, you can set the path in the end of the embedSWF.js:

embedSWF.base = "path/to/expressInstall.swf";

or set the path when you embed a flash:

embedSWF('someId', {
    src: 'path/to/flash.swf',
    base: "path/to/expressInstall.swf"
});
