Module: ActionView::Helpers::AppletHelper::InstanceMethods

Public Instance methods

Returns a path to a Flash object. The src can be supplied as:

a full path, such as "/applets/applet.swf"
a file name such "applet.swf"
a file name without an extension, such as "applet"

All of the above are expanded to "/applets/applet.swf"

# File lib/applet_view_helper.rb, line 19
        def applet_path(source)
          source = source.sub(/\.lzx/, '')
          compute_public_path(source, 'applets', 'swf')
       rescue NoMethodError
          # See the note at
          # ActionView::Helpers::SwfObjectHelper::InstanceMethods#swfobject_path
          javascript_path(source.sub(/\/applets/, '/javascripts')).
            sub(/\/javascripts/, '/applets').
            sub(/\.js$/, '.swf')
        end

applet_tag(source, options={})

This method is equivalent to swfobject_tag except, that in development mode it will also recompile the applet if it is older than the files in the applet source directory.

In addition, if the debug url query parameter is present in the development mode, this method will generate code that includes a version of the applet with the debug flag set, instead.
