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

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?

Thanks for any info!
