You will definitely need to standardise on one or the other as you have already surmised.
You can check if any 1.5 code is still on the page is to search for "= new SWFObject" or "= new FlashObject" (if you are using really old notation) There is no over-ride as such, but if you comment out the swfobject 1.5 js include you will also get JavaScript errors on the lines which you try to call the on-existent method(s) Using 1.5 or 2.1, you will need to ensure that the External Interface has been initialized before you try to make a call etc Cheers, Aran -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fiveleft Sent: Tuesday, 28 October 2008 10:31 AM To: SWFObject Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Conflicting versions of SWFObject on same page - any way to ensure newest version is used? I'm working on a retail site in preparation for the holidays and we've developed a site that includes SWFAddress. Unfortunately, we are under somewhat of a code freeze for high-level site maintenance, and SWFObject 1.5 is embedded at a level we probably won't be able to touch. SWFAddress is working just fine for us in an isolated environment with SWFObject 2.1, but once we push the flash embedding into a test site on the retailer's end where v 1.5 already exists, we lose the SWFAddress communication between the SWF and JS. (I should note that we have other forms of communication working between the SWF and JS using ExternalInterface. It only seems to be SWFAddress that is not communicating). This may ultimately be an issue other than SWFObject, but I'd like to make sure the conflicting versions is not the cause. My question then, is how would I be able to ensure that SWFObject 2.1 is being used and not 1.5. Is there some form of override I might be able to use?
