You can reuse the same javascript variable names over and over again, to
embed multiple SWFs. In fact, just separating into multiple script blocks
doesn't do anything magical in terms of scoping your variables, you're
already reusing them and you didn't even know it.
So, the bottom line is, you can do it all with one script block, and just
use the same variable names over and over for each SWF, and you're fine. In
addition, you can also move the contents of that same single script block
(with reused names) to an external file just fine. Just make sure you link
THAT script from the HEAD of your document to make sure your SWF replacement
happens as early in DOM loading as possible.
It would look like this:
var flashvars = { ... }; // notice the "var" declaration on the first usage
of each variable name.
var params = { ... };
var attrs = { ... };
swfobject.embedSWF(....,flashvars,params,attrs);
flashvars = { ... }; // notice no need for "var" since you are reusing same
variable. doesn't hurt, but is unnecessary.
params = { ... };
attrs = { ... };
swfobject.embedSWF(...,flashvars,params,attrs);
