Two For Tuesday – 193
Longtime readers may recall that we posted a Digital Photo Frame with all of the photographs from the year’s TFT posts in December of 2007. We had intended to do the same thing at the end of 2008 but were so busy enjoying The Boy being home from college and the rest of our Christmas vacation activities that we didn’t get to it. Since the beginning of July is the midpoint of the year and we were on our summer vacation it seemed like an appropriate time to create the 2008 version. So here is a Flash movie of the pictures we used last year for Two For Tuesday. We usually post .WMVs; but SWF format worked well when we did this before. And everyone should be able to play it without any problems.
Unlike the .WMVs which we post that you have to click on and open in a separate window, I embedded a Flash-based video player since it only loads the movie when you press play. I can do the same thing for .WMVs but embedding Windows Media Player eats TONS of bandwidth since it always downloads the movie even if you never play it. And Silverlight Media Player is not cross browser/cross platform friendly.
P.S. I am using an older version of JW Player since I was unsure about the licensing of his new player. It’s working perfectly for us even in Firefox 3.5. Please let us know if you encounter any errors.
