Way around using <PARAM NAME="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="always">??

[joejubee]

so here's the deal...

I created an AS2 widget and provided embed code that lacked the <PARAM NAME="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="always"> portion of code. (Oops!) But it didn't matter at that point, since that widget didn't use any External Communication "stuff."

Here's where the trouble starts - Now we have a new and improved AS3 widget with all sorts of tracking and external communication features. We wanted to just swap out the old swf for the new one, but since our current users don't have the allow access param, it breaks the new widget.

So...

Obviously, we can't contact all 150,000+ people using the widget and ask them to update their embed code.

Is there a way to programmatically address this issue while retaining the original embed code?

Thanks,

Joe

You could add a big "upgrade needed" graphic on your as2 version and link it to a page explaining the issue and supplying the new embed.

Yea... that's what I'm doing now. Grrr.... :-)

Thanks for the reply.
