Both static and dynamic publishing methods have a callback function as their
last parameter:
e.g.
swfobject.embedSWF(swfUrlStr, replaceElemIdStr, widthStr, heightStr,
swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, flashvarsObj, parObj, attObj, callbackFn)
Where callbackFn is a JavaScript function that has an event object as a
parameter:
function callbackFn(e) { ... }
Properties of this event object are:
success, Boolean to indicate whether the embedding of a SWF was success or
not
id, String indicating the ID used in swfobject.registerObject
ref, HTML object element reference (returns undefined when success=false)
Example here:
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic2.html
You *should *be able to use this function to check whether the swf was every
written to the page. If not, then you can run some extra logic. I saw
should, as there may be some circumstances where SWFObejct will not be able
to determine that some other exteranl process has blocked the display of the
flash file.
