   Hello,

   Do you have any plans to update WP-Cumulus to use a modern version of the SWFObject javascript library? The version that is included is 1.4, which is extremely old.

   The newer versions are bundled with wordpress by default, and/or can be directly linked via the google hosted javascript libraries, which is a big advantage over the version that is bundled with wp-cumulus at the moment.

   Thanx in advance,

   Yes, we're planning a new version with man improvements, including an update of SWFObject to the latest version. Because we're planning a lot of new features, the new version may take a while, but I hope it'll be ready next month.

   Hello Roy!
   Boombastic plugin, thanks again.

   Hello together!
   Maybe the following code snipped could save you time or help migrating.

   Regards
   Edy

   <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="/using-2.2-version-of/swfobject.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">

   var attributes = {};
   
   params.menu = "false";
   params.quality = "high";
   params.wmode = "transparent";
   params.AllowScriptAccess = "always";
   
   flashvars.mode = "tags"
   flashvars.tagcloud = "<tags>" +

   Thanks, I've forwarded this thread to Luke, who's working on version 2.0.

   I have successfully implemented this awesome flash tag cloud using swobject 2.2. This is my code:

   var tagcloud = encode($('#tagCloud').html().toLowerCase());
   var flashvars = {
   	tcolor: "0xffffff",
   	tcolor2: "0xffffff",
   	hicolor: "0xffffff",
   	tspeed: "100",
   	distr: "true",
   	mode: "tags",
   	tagcloud: tagcloud
   };
   var params = {
   	bgcolor: "0x000000"
   };
   var attributes = {
   	wmode: "transparent"
   };
   swfobject.embedSWF("<xsl:value-of select="/ms247/@publicdir"/>wp-cumulus/tagcloud.swf", "tagCloud", "550", "375", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);

   Note that I keep the tags in a DIV container which is then replaced with the FLASH version - if flash is supported. Otherwise the DIV with working tags will be presented.

   And for IE and some other browsers the toLowerCase is required - something about innerHTML auto converting tags and stuff to uppercase. This is just another reason NOT to use IE :)
