Flash Tooltips using jQuery
Category: JavaScript
, Library, Examples, Flash
Peter Goodman wanted really rich tooltips, so he decided to experiment with Flash tooltips using jQuery.
jQuery has a Flash plugin that lets you embed Flash movies with code such as:
JAVASCRIPT:
-
-
$('#hello').flash({
-
src: 'hello.swf',
-
width: 320,
-
height: 240
-
});
-
It may be a tad overkill, especially for people who have Ad/FlashBlock:

My first question was why? Then I read the post which explains:-
“Simply put, it was a fun experiment”.
Cool, thats fair enough.
Yes, an interesting experiment - but nothing beyond that. Flash for tooltips; whatever next!
I should agree with johno… More interesting was the second part of this post - JQuery Flash Plugin examples. INHO they are helpful.
