I actually have some objects that will have streaming content...so I think i'm going to hook an additional argument in so that i can run that function only when i specify that argument(or not, as the case may be), the embedded objects with streaming content can be appropriately unloaded.</p><p><br></p><p>perhaps this would be a better way to handle this for your distributed version of the script? some kind of override to turn it off, maybe?</p>alexknowshtmlTue, 26 Sep 2006 21:10:03 -0000http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2006/09/deconcept-swfobject-bug/#comment-6901875<p>Oh, and I also should say: if you aren't using streaming content and ExternalInterface in your Flash movies, it's perfeclty fine to comment out that chunk of code.</p>GeoffTue, 26 Sep 2006 20:18:02 -0000http://dangerouslyawesome.com/2006/09/deconcept-swfobject-bug/#comment-6901874<p>This functionality was changed in the very latest version (although not quite released yet).</p><p><br></p><p>The change adds this function only if the user has IE, and only if their Flash player version is 8 or above (players that use ExternalInterface).</p><p><br></p><p>The issue was that if you had a streaming video, and you embed the movie using innerHTML, when you left the page, the audio would keep playing (and presumably the Flash plugin would stay in the browser memory).</p><p><br></p><p>To fix this, I implemented this fix, but then later noticed the issues you mention (among a couple of other small issues).</p><p><br></p><p>So in the next release this will be eased a little bit - you'll still see this if you are using IE and have Flash Player 8+, but on all other browsers you'll be just fine.</p>GeoffTue, 26 Sep 2006 20:14:29 -0000
