Hi,

I installed Flash Player 10 today (ver 10.0.12.36 to be precise) and
my sites which use SWFObject (v.2, dynamic publishing) don't display
the Flash file. This is a problem across all but one of the browsers I
tested on: FF 2 and 3 (no adBlock installed), IE 6 & 7, Chrome and
Safari 3. Bizarrely it works with Opera 9.10. These are all on PC btw.

It looks like the Flash file is being initialised but then nothing
displays. If you right-click on the movie you get the usual Flash
menu.

Here's an example site where we're using it: http://www.bbk.ac.uk.

We're also using sIFR on this page which only works with Flash 10 on
sIFR version 3 (I've got that working on a dev site). Both the
SWFObejct and sIFR code worked fine with FP 9.

The code I'm using isn't too complex. This is the code which is
replaced using SWFObject:

<div id="home-page-image">
                <a href="http://www.bbk.ac.uk/openeve";><span id="home-page-
flash"><img src="http://www.bbk.ac.uk/images/home-page-images/
PGhomepageNovNab.jpg" width="435" height="290" alt="Click here for
more information about our Postgraduate Open Evening" /></span></a>
        </div>

and this is the Javascript which is just below the closing </body>
tag:

<script type="text/javascript"
        src="http://www.bbk.ac.uk/swfobject.js";></script>
<script type="text/javascript">if (document.getElementById('home-page-
flash')) {
   swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.bbk.ac.uk/flash/homepage.swf";, "home-
page-flash", "435", "290", "9.0.115.0");
}
</script>

I've tried with SWFObject 2.1 and I get the same result.

I'd be grateful for any advice. If this is a problem local to my PC
then that's ok but I'm worried it's more widespread than that.

Thanks,
David
