I have a dynamic page (say myFlashContainer.jsp) which renders different Flash content based on which link was clicked.
Now the code which renders the Flash is rendered as follows;
<object height="100%" align="l" width="100%" id="player" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,24,0" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000">
<param value="always" name="allowScriptAccess">
<param value="player.swf" name="movie">
<param value="high" name="quality">
<param value="transparent" name="wmode">
<param value="" name="bgcolor">
<param value="exactfit" name="scale">
<param value="tl" name="salign">
<param value="false" name="menu">
<param value="" name="FlashVars">
<embed height="100%" align="l" width="100%" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="" menu="false" salign="tl" name="player" bgcolor="" wmode="transparent" scale="exactfit" quality="high" src="player.swf">
</object>
Now the Flash content is not actually created by me, but by some third-part vendor.
I am more into UI development (HTML/CSS/JS)
So my question is how does different Flash content appear given that all pages use “player.swf” as the value.
Is there some kind of scripting which makes it possible ? If yes, what should I look for in the code ?
A Flash player can be a complex program. Like PHP or Javascript it can load content dynamically. Check out the wikipedia article about it.
