I've run into this before too... Calling a method (i.e. setConfig(), setVariable()) of the flash player (in Firefox it's an NPObject, in IE it's an ActiveX object) before the swf has loaded will throw an error.
The ready event fires before your swf has loaded, which throws an error. The load event doesn't fire until the swf (and everything else) has finished loading, hence, no error. Since you're not doing anything fancy, why not just pass the config as flashvars and save yourself a world of hurt? ;-) Luke Sam Collett wrote: > On 04/02/07, Brice Burgess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I am trying to embed flowplayer; http://flowplayer.sourceforge.net/ >> >> For some reason I cannot access an embedded SWFObject within a $().ready >> function.
