And in difference to the case of installing a media player plugin or a media codec for an existing media player plugin, an swf played by Flash runs in a low privilege sandbox that makes it a smaller risk for the user than downloading and installing a local application, especially since many installers require admin rights. Additionally users are less likely to download things at all compared to just visiting a site that uses Flash, so you as publisher will probably get your audio out to a bigger portion of the visitors this way compared to if you didn't offer the Flash solution at all. And the ogg file does not become any less of an open format file just because you change the player, does it? If you haven't noticed, the factor that has kept Ogg from becoming a frequent format to see online is likely that players for it aren't as common or well spread as players for MP3, WMA or even RA. It already is a frequent format elsewhere - it's the most common audio format used in PC games and on the rise on games consoles, despite sometimes competing with hardware decoders for competing formats. In fact, this adding an ogg player through Flash just works to open it even more by allowing yet another way of getting the capability to actually play the ogg files out to users that care nothing at all what format the audio is in, as long as it works, which would be the vast majority of users. -- var Liorean = { abode: "[sigrotate][url]http://liorean.web-graphics.com/[/url]\|[url]http://codingforums.com/[/url]\|[url]http://web-graphics.com/[/url][/sigrotate]", profile: "[url]http://codingforums.com/member.php?u=5798[/url]"}; Loading...
