Sorry, I had fixed it by giving:
...
var flashvars = { };
var params = {
quality: 'high',
pluginspage: 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
play: 'true',
loop: 'true',
scale: 'Exact Fit',
wmode: 'transparent',
//wmode: 'window',
devicefont: 'false',
bgcolor: '#ffffff',
menu: 'true',
allowFullScreen: 'true',
allowScriptAccess: 'sameDomain',
salign: 't'
};
var attributes = { id: "swf_id", name: "swf_id" };
function thisFunction() {
var obj = document.getElementById("swf_id");
if (!obj) { //IE doesn't find it immidiately yah (yet another hack)
setTimeout("thisFunction()", 200);
return;
}
/* rest of the code that sets the dimensions etc with ExternalInterface
calls like obj.setDimensions(width, height); */
}
swfobject.embedSWF("myswf.swf", "swf_container", ""+ windowWidth, ""+
windowHeight, "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
</head>
<body><div id="swf_id">alternate content</div>
...
Hope this helps someone. Took me a while to find this.
Thanks anyway.
