SWF Object Generator

I have started to create a new version of the SWF Object Generator. The old one doesn’t look very nice, so I decided to make it a bit nicer.

Because the audience of this is mainly web developers, and all web developers shouldn’t be using Internet Explorer, I decided to totally not support internet explorer, and have fun with new CSS styles! (This is a very rare opportunity)

My version is based on the old one (copy/paste code, then modified) which means I have released it under the MIT license.

It still has has a lot of work to do (like adding javascript tooltips on the help messages).

  1. Hi There,

    Have just tried your new interface, looking great.

    Since your still in dev mode I was wondering
    if you would consider creating an option
    for the dynamic embed method to output the objects
    in Object Literal notation and not default to .DOT notation? Would like to work with a AJAX JSON format.
    If you decide to do this, could you double quote the member names in the output?

    ==
    One other suggestion..

    I am not really a flash developer to be familiar enough to know all the possible params meanings and flashvar possiblities.

    I will start doing the research but it would be nice if you had a quick link for the more “challenging”
    param names

    “salign” : “l”,
    “wmode” : “transparent”;
    “devicefont” : “true”,
    “seamlesstabbing” : “false”,
    “swliveconnect” : “true”,
    “allowscriptaccess” : “sameDomain”,
    “allownetworking” : “none”,

    what different option available on these would imply.

    -
    I am just about ready to give it a go for a test page
    with 2 dynamic embeds

    Looks great so far

    Thanks for putting the time into this.

  2. Sorry I skipped over the documentation links for param details. Thanks will use them…[ would be good to build the links into your tool.... ] hehe

    Thanks again

  3. I am planning to add little help bubbles that will appear when the mouse moves over the attributes.
