Hello,

I have been trying to use this great library to embed some flash
dynamicly and then access the flash API via javascript
(ExternalInterface). The problem I am having seems to be, because I
try to access the flash element right after the call to
swfobject.embedSWF, the element does not seem to be ready yet.

For example, starting with the example code from
http://www.pipwerks.com/lab/swfobject/ExternalInterface/2.0/dynamic.html
(Thanks for the example!), if I were to modify the following
javascript in the dynamic.html global scope by trying to get at the
swf object I get an "swf is null". However the event handling code
that access the flash element still works ok, indicating that the
flash did get embedded ok.

swfobject.embedSWF("ExternalInterfaceExample.swf", "flashcontent",
"550", "200", "8", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
var swf = document.getElementById("ExternalInterfaceExample"); //added
line
swf.sendTextToFlash(text); //trying to use the flash object right
after embedding it

Is this because the flash element is not ready yet ? How would I
implement something that needs to be run right after the call to
swfobject.embedSWF ? The examples I have seen always make use of the
swfobject in some event handler and not right after the call to
swfobject.embedSWF. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mohan
