Flash Detection - SWFFix is now SWFObject 2.0

Just FYI, I was reading about a few developments with “SWFFix.”

First, SWFFix was renamed to SWFObject in October:

While getting closer in bringing our embed method to the market, we had to re-assess if SWFFix is the most fortunate name for the project. We had already received the feedback from the folks at Adobe that they were not entirely happy with the name, because is suggests the SWF format to be broken, while we are trying to communicate that it is the cross-browser support for embedding plug-in content that is broken.

Second, it looks like “SWFObject 2.0” is about ready for primetime. They even created a browser-based utility to generate the code. (It’s curious, though, that they haven’t updated the original SWF Object page.)
