Introducing SWF Lightbox

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

The digital team at Marque have been trying to get into the habit of releasing some of the nice code we write, as our way of giving something back to the community.

For the first of these releases, James has created a variation of the Lightbox technique which is capable of true fullscreen display - particularly nifty if you’re displaying hi-resolution photography.

Check out SWF Lightbox on the new Marque Digital blog.

Safari Flash caching issue solved in 10.5.3

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Just to confirm that the bug in Safari (and WebKit) which prevented caching of SWF files has been fixed by the recent 10.5.3 update to OS X.

There’s no information on the 10.5.3 support page about the fix, but from a quick read of some related WebKit bug reports (18972 and 19144) it seems likely an unreported patch to CFNetwork has done the trick.

Discovered this by chance this morning when checking over a site we’re launching soon and noticed the files were loading too fast not to be cached!
