I'm not sure yet, and I'd like to research this more today... here are some of the things I think of offhand:
-- As Stan noted, the "swLiveConnect" parameter needs to be set... this was originally added to avoid unnecessary Java VM initialization and may not be necessary for current browsers, but this is a possible candidate for breakage.
-- I haven't heard of this symptom yet, which doesn't mean anything, but which does suggest that it may be a "some-or-all files" kind of issue.
-- Another possibility depends on the timing of the communication call... it takes a moment for a SWF to start up and to be able to catch messages from the browser, and any dynamic tag-writing could extend that time... you mentioned that your triggering message was from an HTML link, which makes me disinclined to credit this hypothesis, but it's still a possibility.
Do you have a way to check what markup the browser actually processes, after the JavaScript finishes changing the markup? Awhile ago a "viewsource:" protocol would reveal this, but I'm not sure whether they support this anymore... if we had just the relevant fragment in a simpler HTML file then it would be more accurate to test.
Sorry I don't know yet, but the above is what I have at the moment, and I'll ask other staffers throughout the day today if they have leads. Do any of the above potential hypotheses allow for more targeted testing in the meantime...?
