HTML is best mainly because you have no control how the SWF is wired to the
user's system.  Some people's systems have SWF's play in the Flash Player,
some in another browser other than the one they may be currently using, etc.
Usually, if they have the Flash plugin installed, the SWF will play just
fine in the window, however, if not, there is no error checking.  HTML can
at least define the needed plugin, and show the required security dialogues
as well as other necessarey error checking while a SWF alone cannot.

BTW, there are pop-up blockers for a reason.

Subject: [Flashnewbie] swf or html?


Hi there,
question: if I produce pop-ups for the web - for example: just a browser
window containing a picture -
do I need to embed this pic in a html-window or can I pop up a swf? I had
bad experience with html
so I figured I could just pop up a swf-window. the browser says though that
it needs a html - but then
still opens the window.
Is it just not elegant? should I stick to html?
thanks
Hannes
