Hi,
That's interesting behavior.
When you say removing the observer complicates things...why? Knowing
that would help people address your issue.
I would probably address it in one of two ways:
1. Use a flag (e.g., to indicate that the Flash stuff is there), and
have your event handler check the flag. But if that also complicates
things, then:
2. In the event handler, look to see if the Flash content is there.
E.g.:
var theDiv = /* ...get the div, e.g., via $ or $$ or whatever */;
theDiv.observe('click', handleClick);
function handleClick(event) {
if (!this.down('object') && !this.down('embed')) {
// The Flash content isn't there; add it
}
}
(I don't use Flash, but IIRC you use either <object> or <embed> to put
it in, so...) That example looks for any <object> or <embed> element,
but you can narrow that down with more precise CSS selectors. For
instance, if you use a `data-name` attribute on the element to
specifically indicate what it is, then
if (!this.down('*[data-name=theFlashStuff]'))

FWIW, HTH,
