Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 Beta

I was just reading about “Stiletto” (the Dreamweaver CS4 beta, code name) at the Adobe Developer Center. It sounds like it will be a cool update. One nerdy tidbit that caught my attention was that it sounds like Adobe may be moving to recommend SWFObject as their embed method of choice! Either that, or there are some rebellious folks on the Stiletto team.

“Working with Flash or Flex SWF files in your projects? The newly updated Insert Flash feature of Dreamweaver CS4 beta now uses the popular open source SWFObject 2.0 codebase for embedding SWF-based content. This allows you to visually preview your SWF file in context using Live Preview, and even design the static, no-Flash alternative HTML/CSS content right in Design view, as well. Get complete control over your hybrid HTML/Flash projects and every aspect of their visual characteristics.”
