Kyle, please don't get me wrong, but ... if you say "This is incorrect information.", I definitely disagree with you, because this swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow(); is exactly what makes my test.swf show up at http://fischerwirt.primemarketing.at/swfobject/
Feel free to try http://fischerwirt.primemarketing.at/swfobject/noShow.html to see the effect which Buglish has described. Saying about switchOffAutoHideShow(); "That function is for a different purpose, and should not be used in the way you are describing." is not helpfull at all. Whereas putting swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow(); before swfobject.registerObject(); seems to be - well - at least a quite good work around. So, do you know why the test.swf (as downloaded) it's not working with my German Firefox 3.0.12, German Vista Ultimate SP2, German Flash Plugin WIN 10,0,12,36 or do you still insist in saying: "Don't use this as a work around - but I I'm not sure about why you shouldn't" :-) regards Heinz On 21 Jul., 17:09, "Getify Solutions, Inc." <[email protected]> wrote: > You haven't provided a link, so I can't see, yet. > > It's possible your problem is that the SWF you're trying to load doesn't get > the proper stage size.
