Really I wasn't considering the delay as a real solution. It was just something I was using to probe for clues.
"the embedded object cannot exist prior to the onload event firing or it will require activation. Period." Actually, that's not true. The only time it DOES require activation when inserted by a deferred script (<script defer src="whatever.js"></script>) is if the user clears their cache and revisits the page without restarting their browser first. It is this edge case for which I am seeking a workaround. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ryanm Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 5:20 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Eolas "fix" and backspace key flash bug > Perhaps there is a magic sweet spot between the execution > of deferred scripts and window.onload when elements can be inserted into > the > document without "click to activate". > There's no magic there, the embedded object cannot exist prior to the onload event firing or it will require activation. Period. Don't use a delay, use the onload event. A delay is unpredictable because you are working on the client side, where bandwidth, network congestion, and the size of the images and other files loaded into the page will cause the amount of time before the onload event fires to vary drastically. To state that more clearly, you will *never* accomplish this in any predictable way using a time delay, not even if you make the delay over 1 minute, because somewhere there is still a guy using a 14.4 modem. ryanm _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
