My name is Hernan. i´m new in this forum and with the SWF Object tecnique. I read all the swfobject information with the explanation and also see lots of different questions people ask here. I want to just doble check some concepts, maybe a sum up:
1)In order to use SWF Object, i just have to put in my web page the swfobject.js file and reference it. Is that correct?
2)If user does not have the proper version of the flash plugin, instead of telling him/her to download it from the adobe web page, with can apply the expressinstall tecnique. I only have to put expressinstall.swf in my web page and reference it with the statement: so.useExpressInstall('expressinstall.swf'); Is that correct?
If i use this alternative i´m not offering an ALT information, that is not very good, specially from SEO, am i right?
3)I want to analize a paragraph with you:
"When developing pages that use SWFObject, you should start with your alternate (non-Flash) content first. Get your pages working without your Flash movies, then add them in later with little Javascript snippets that replace your alternate content with the Flash movies. This ensures that the alternate content will be indexed by search engines, and that users without the Flash plug-in will still see a working HTML page...."
This means that first i should start with my web page only in HTML until the SEO index it and after this...........put the swf i want to my page?, or i can put both at the same time flash and ALT content............and the SEO will automatically understand that if they can not read the flash movie they will read the ALT content and then index it.?
5) I´m currently making a web page with HTML and flash. It has an animation in the top and in one side other swf with the botons. My idea is to make 2 iframes in the web page, one for the animation on the top and the other one for the botons in my page, so the only content that will change is the text that will be in HTML, i used to do this dynamical only with flash.........but i see that only flash is NOT the best nowadays and now i want to emulate this with the iframes, is a good idea?, Will SEO index in a proper way the pages with iframes? you have any other idea? I want to use iframes due to i do not want the page fully refresh if a user clicks in a botton due to my animation will start over again, it make sense? Will SFO Object will work with the iframes?
I know i´m asking too much.......i´m just learning this, i will REALLY appreciate if you could help me with those all questions.
