I was looking around for a simple example of using SWFAddress 2.1 with SWFObject 2.1 and Flash CS3 (ActionScript 3.0) and came across this blog post by Rachel. She has kindly put a simple demo online and made the source code available.

There are a few things that I have updated and am making available here (at the bottom of this post) …

• Updated SWFAddress from v2.0 to v2.1
• Updated SWFObject from v1.5 to v2.1
• Reorganised the folder structure (see below)

Download the updated source files here …

UPDATE 20/04/09: Lee Brimlow has a good tutorial on using SWFAddress 2.2 on his gotoandlearn() website. I suggest you check it out.

I use SWFObject regularly to embed my SWFs in the HTML page. But was not sure how to display alternate SWFs depending on the Flash Player version installed on the end user’s machine. However, I have just come across a blog entry by David Stiller that clearly explains how to do it.
