If iPhone is important to you, there is a similar Annotated Timeline Widget, Chronoscope (http://timepedia.org/chronoscope) that supports both Flash and browser Canvas, and works on iPhone. I currently don't support the new iPhone gesture events, so navigation by dragging/pinching is unsupported at the moment.

Hi,

I just started using the Annotated Timeline for a site i just launched: http://www.perspctv.com

I noticed two issues with it:

1. The Flash does not degrade the way "SWFObject" does -- when I pull up the site on my iPhone, I see the fallback content for the "electoral map" with which I use SWFObject -- but for the timelines -- I get the "plugin not available" symbol -- and I do indeed put fallback content within the div that gets replaced.

2. It seems that in Firefox 2 -- the Timeline Flash, doesn't get "hidden" with the overflow=hidden... I believe the Flash's WMODE needs to be set to opaque or transparent -- but there doesn't seem to be any options to do this...? Is there a way to change the WMODE?
