Most likely, the split second you're seeing is when the old "div" is removed, and the new object is inserted.
One quick easy way to fix this is to have another, fixed height size, container, like a div, wrapped around your alternate content. so, when the alternate content is taken away and the flash object is not yet there, the container will still be it's correct height, which will prevent the rest of the page content from sliding up momentarily. --Kyle -------------------------------------------------- From: "vitruvian" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 4:06 PM To: "SWFObject" <[email protected]> Subject: SWFobject and Firefox load flicker > > Hi all, > I'm using swfobject to place a flash header in my site.
