No, you can't do that only with swfobject. But, there are ways to accomplish
it. There's a library I wrote which wraps up swfobject and gives it extra
functionality, called CheckPlayer (http://checkplayer.flensed.com) that can
do this.
Basically, you'd do something like this:
1. Create a container for your alternate content, make it visible by default
2. Create a container for your SWF, and position/overlay it on top of the
alternate content
3. Fire off the "DoSWF()" function of CheckPlayer, targetting that
container, and use the callback to be notified of SWF events:
a. When you get the "SWF_INIT" event, move the container off the page so
its loading progress is not visible.
b. Then, when you get the "SWF_LOADED" event, move the container back,
and hide the alternate content.
As for the last part, about detecting the end of the playing. That part you
will need to roll your own solution for. I'm not aware of any events or JS
interface functions that you can use to trap the end of a SWF. You'd
probably need for the SWF to signal out to the javascript using
ExternalInterface or fscommand that it was complete. And at that point, you
could hide the SWF and redisplay the alt content.
It's obviously a more complicated pattern, and not something that is
normally attempted by most swfobject users. But it's doable, and that's why
I wrapped up the more advanced capabilities into CheckPlayer, for the few
who are brave enough to try! :)
DISCLAIMER: I haven't updated CheckPlayer to use v2.2 yet, it still uses
2.1. An update for 2.2 is coming, but there's still issues to work out on
the integration.
