BlaTek Satay Appendix

It slightly refers to Drew McLellan satay method (www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/) for embedding flash. The most painful problem of Satay method is lacking of streaming in IE/Windows for the large movies. Drew resolved this problem by creating a very small container movie, which loads the real (large) movie.

This is alternative method for embedding large flash movies, but here I don't use any container movie. I use so called "IE conditional comments" and a small trick with the script element.
Look at the source of this document.

Fault: Unlike Satay method, it's not so short and "clean".

Advantages:

One swf.
It still keeps streaming in IE browsers, and still validates as a proper (x)html document.
Unlike Satay method, it keeps functionality of codebase attribute, which allows to prompt IE users to update a pulugin.
