Also, one other thing to look at. "wmode:transparent" is known to be VERY buggy, especially in IE. You might try setting "wmode:opaque" or setting no wmode at all. See if that resolves it.

I'll have a look at this as soon as I can (it is late here in Aus, and I need sleep). re: how often is SWFObject is used to embed multiple Flash files - Well, SWFObject is the #2 javascript library on the net behind jQuery ( ~ 6% of ALL sites on the net), so I should think there would be more than a handful sites with more than 1 swf on the page :) To clarify, are you saying you only notice the bahavior if there is more than 1 swf on the page? This would help narrow down a test case.

The second flash duplicates itself on top of the first flash movie. I've moved the script blocks into the head, no difference. No extra HTML on the page except a link. And I've tested w/ v2.2 locally with the same behavior. You said "his behaviour does not happen on all sites either"....how often is swfobject used to embed more than 1 flash movie into a page?
