[thelist] JavaScript loading of <object> tag

[Julian Rickards]

Hi:

Another Dreamweaver question although it might not be specific to DW.

When I insert a flash object, DW precedes the <object> tag with a <script>
tag that appears to load the flash object, judging from the parameters in
the code and then surrounds the <object> tag with the <noscript> element.

Is this code the result of the EOLAS patent or does it have another purpose?

Example:

<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','780','height','428','title','BiltmoreVillage
Inn','src','images/home','quality','high','pluginspage','
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','images/home' ); //end
AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="780" height="428" title="Biltmore Village Inn">
      <param name="movie" value="images/home.swf" />
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <embed src="images/home.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="780" height="428"></embed>
</object>
</noscript>
