jQuery Tools / Flashembed
The future of Flash embedding
This plugin is now hosted under the jQuery Tools UI library..
Flashembed is a JavaScript tool that you can use to embed Flash objects to you website. There are other tools for embedding flash objects but none of them offers the same flexibility and ease of use as this one. Here are the highlights:
-
simplicity. for simple Flash objects you can jusw write
flashembed("myContainer", "myflash.swf"); - demos. we have a lot of demos and each demo is documented and they are coupled with a standalone version where everything redundant is stripped off. There you can see how things can be placed on your site. copy and paste is encouraged.
- jquery support. flashembed is designed for for scripters in mind. a polished programming API together with a support for jQuery selectors.
- JSON configuration. when supplying configuration for Flash objects the values can be complex JavaScript objects with arrays, strings, functions and other objects. as opposed to traditional XML based configuration this is simpler and much more flexible.
- Size Although rich in features this plugin weights around 5 kb when minified. This is almost half of the size than the competitors.
Usage
// without jQuery: replace first argument with flash
flashembed(element, {parameters}, {configuration});
// with jQuery: replace selected jQuery objects with flash
$("selector").flashembed({parameters}, {configuration});
