Again, this is misinformation. That "switchOffAutoHideShow()" hack is just that, and it's masking your real problem. It's not designed to be used that way.
In the past, most other people have been experiencing this problem if they were putting their javascript code inline in the BODY of the page, rather than in the HEAD as recommended. Check that (and comment out your call to switch...()) first. --Kyle -------------------------------------------------- From: "citznfish" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2009 3:31 PM To: "SWFObject" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Basic question about SWFObject 2.0 and CDN > > Looks like SWFObject 2.2 has that "switch off auto hide show" issue > with more than FF 3.5.
