[Solved] First look feedback

[Mark Chipman]

Just a few thoughts... A few things that I noticed on the demo for the latest r.a.d.Editor Prometheus release:

• Preview mode simply greys out the toolbars... so what? What do I gain by doing that?  The editor used to hide the toolbars so I could see exactly what the content would look like.  I wish that the editor stilled worked that way.
• In the demo for saving content to a file, I added a flash content and a video... the video didn't embed at all, but the flash did.  But when I tried to delete the flash from the editor by selecting it and hitting delete, nothing happens... thus deleting didn't work.  Obviously there's a few bugs showing up here.
• I noticed that when embedding flash, the old-fashioned method of simply declaring the swf is used, rather than loading it using with object loaders (for example, something like SWFObject)... it would be nice if flash objects would automatically include the necessary javascript (and the declarations to the SWFObject js file) to allow the use of SWFObject so that all flash content loads correctly and avoids the "click on object first" behaviour to activate the flash before you are allowed to interact with it.

I'm looking forword to any feedback on these items.

I also think flash-files should be loaded with oblecjt loades... The "click on object first" is just to annoying!

Hi,

We have already put this feature on our Todo list. You will be able to select whether you want to insert flash/media as a normal <object> tag or as JavaScript code. I think that the feature will even make it in the next service pack release of the "Prometheus" suite.
