Macromedia released the Dreamweaver 8.0.2 update to their web authoring software. While it offers nothing new in the areas of performance or stability, it does offer one notable feature - the ability to embed .swf files using javascript (easily).

This is in reaction to the IE Active Content Update pushed out a few weeks ago. Now, rather than having to click on a Flash object in IE to “activate it”, you can simply go about your life as if IE never had to update their browser in reaction to a patent lawsuit. If you use Firefox or another browser, you’re safe, for now.

This, coupled with the Flash Active Content Update, makes embedding Flash in html pages easy again.
