Request to add embed tag inside object for firefox #119

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
While obviously not an swfobject error, I'd like to request that, for
Firefox at least, the embed tag be added inside the object tags. Or at the
very least, an option to turn on an "embeded" embed tag be added. 

Since Firefox 3 arrived, I've been getting numerous reports from users that
pages using swfobject2 show no Flash while pages still using 1.5 remain in
working condition.  After doing some testing on a few client computes I
found that any flash using just the object tag was failing, while pages
using just embed or an embed inside an object tag worked correctly.

The only solution I could find was having users uninstall flash then
uninstall Firefox then reinstall.

What you ask us to do is to change our philosophy (embed is not the road 
forward) to
anticipate on newly introduced browser/player bugs, which makes no sense at all.

Both the Mozilla foundation and Adobe will fix their issues in a quick manner, 
as
long as they are reported + rated high by their users. So please reoprt these 
issues
with them and rate outstanding bugs like these.
