Question

I remember doing this years ago, but can’t remember if it was with SWFObject.
Anyone heard of this before?
I guess it would basically disable SWFObject from switching the altContent for the SWF.

I though it was something like:

www.mysite.com?noflash=true

But can’t remember the real one (if it exists).

Thanks

There’s no built in way to do this with swfobject that I know of, but you can manually do what you want fairly simply.

<script>
if (location.href.indexOf('noflash=true') !== -1) {
    swfobject.embedSWF = function () {};
}
swfobject.embedSWF("test.swf", "flash", "300", "250", "9.0.0");
</script>

You’re just checking if “noflash=true” exists in the URL. If it does, make swfobject.embedSWF an empty function.

If the parameter doesn’t exist, swfobject embeds the SWF as usual.
