I didn't find any "<object/>" tag neither .java nor .jsp/.js files. Is perhaps this issue resolved?

[Julio Camarero]

We are not creating <object /> directly but instead using an alloy component called aui-swf.
This component is only used in our uploads module and this one will be refactored as part of the new Doc Library improvements.

Something interesting to do would be to make sure the alloy component provides a mechanism to offer alternatives when flash is not working in the browser... but we will need Nate's or Eduardo's help on this.

It seems all our objects already have an alternative. Please reopen this ticket if any other is found.
