1) Unfortunately I only have access to that area, it's as high up as I
can place it.
2) I tried doing this but it broke in all browsers so I took it back
down. I'm not that familiar with jQuery so maybe I did it wrong?
here is what i had:
<!-- swfobject2.2 -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://content.guess.com/swfobject/
swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(SWFLoad() {
var SWFLoad = function() {
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.menu = "false";
params.quality = "high";
params.wmode = "transparent";
params.bgcolor = "#ffffff";
params.allowfullscreen = "false";
params.allowscriptaccess = "always";
var attributes = {};
attributes.id = "shoes";
swfobject.embedSWF("http://content.guess.com/GuessCanada/Landing/
Shoes/2009-07-07/shoesCA.swf", "altContent", "666", "522", "9.0.0",
false, flashvars, params, attributes);
};
});
</script>
<div id="altContent">
<a href="http://shop.guess.com/ProductListing.aspx?
page=GRID&browse=1&root_category|46=Women&category|cat_47|
2816=Tees&rpt= &pt=ProductListing.aspx"><img src="http://
content.guess.com/GuessCanada/Landing/Shoes/2009-07-07/
shoesStaticImage.jpg" alt="GUESS shoes" title="GUESS shoes"
border="0" /></a></p><p><h4>Our web site is designed for Flash enabled
browsers. If you would like the full experience please install the
latest Flash player by clicking <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/
getflashplayer">here.</a></h4></p>
</div>
<!-- End swfobject2.2 -->
Optional Part 2: I added the alert at the begining of the function,
and then moved it to after teh EmbedSWF call and it popped up, so it
is def. going through the script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var SWFLoad = function() {
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.menu = "false";
params.quality = "high";
params.wmode = "transparent";
params.bgcolor = "#ffffff";
params.allowfullscreen = "false";
params.allowscriptaccess = "always";
var attributes = {};
attributes.id = "shoes";
swfobject.embedSWF("http://content.guess.com/GuessCanada/Landing/
Shoes/2009-07-07/shoesCA.swf", "altContent", "666", "522", "9.0.0",
false, flashvars, params, attributes);
alert('Please close this window. This is temporarily testing the
website');
};
swfobject.addDomLoadEvent(SWFLoad);
</script>
But still a blank screen in FF 3.0.7
