Can you please provide a simple page (only this SWF, not all the other stuff), showing this behavior. Leave off the "switchOff..." call, and let us see it fail reproduceably in FF3.5?

Check the thread here for details: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/issues/detail?id=327 Using the switchOffAutoHideShow method shouldn't be necessary but due to a rendering issue in FF3.5, it is an acceptable workaround for SWFObject2.2 users it seems. Thanks for the heads up, Buglish. Although I am personally not sure how to update the FAQ... it's probably a good idea until a true fix can be seen from the Firefox folks. Q: Is this sort of thing worth embedding directly into the SWFObject code base (i.e. if FF3.5 on platform X, execute code behind SwitchOffAutoHideShow automatically?)

It's possible your problem is that the SWF you're trying to load doesn't get the proper stage size. We've had a number of people with issues about this. Or it could be something else particular to your SWF. But in fact, the static SWF loading does work in FF, so you shouldn't need to use extra API functions to hack it to work. This function in fact is used to control/prevent the flicker that some people see where the alternate content shows for a brief snap before the SWF content shows up. Our code doesn't have any functionality that leaves a SWF totally hidden even after embed, as you seem to be trying to use this function to undo. So, if your SWF is loading but not showing, there's another problem and we can troubleshoot it if you want to post a link. But, I just didn't want misinformation about this function be the cure for this problem, because that's improper usage. You can read our documentation for a more detailed explanation of the purpose of the function in question. --Kyle -------------------------------------------------- From: "Buglish" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 9:54 AM To: "SWFObject" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Firefox Flash item invisible > > From the link you can see I used the sample text exactly. > Only when I used Firefox the flash object was invisible.
