Re: [SWFObject] What is the difference between createSWF and embedSWF ?

[Aran Rhee]

embedSWF() is what most people will use - It is a 'higher level' function which covers most needs for embedding a swf. 

As the docs say createSWF() is 'low level' method will primarily be useful when combining it with other JavaScript libraries. Another common usage is if you are doing something like dynamically attaching and destroying swfs in the same container.

Unless you are doing something funky, embedSWF() should be good for you.

I looked at the docs but still do not really know the difference.

Thanks.

embedSWF invokes createSWF after detecting whether minimum flash player version is available, and includes domready event handling.

createSWF by itself just does the embedding. no domready, no version detection.
