There are 2 ways to use SWFObject. Static Publishing and Dynamic
Publishing. Jump to
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html and click the
link "What is this?" next to the Publishing Method field for a detailed
explanation.
The method you are using, where you have object tags and use the
SWFObject.register method represents the static publishing method, and is
used by folks who don't want to HAVE to rely on Javascript for all of this
stuff to work. i.e. if you don't have javascript enabled on your browser
the nasty nested object tags you are using will still load the SWF file.
Based on the code sample you submitted above, it's working just as intended.
If you want something cleaner and you are OK with requiring that people
using your site HAVE to have Javascript running to experience your content,
then you might want to consider switching to the dynamic publishing method.
It's cleaner in terms of the code you have to put into your content, and
works just fine in terms of embedding your content.
Use the link above to generate some code for yourself using the dynamic
publishing method, and hopefully you'll see what I mean.
But the test you created for yourself in your previous post isn't really a
test.
Properly done, the code in your body puts the appropriate .swf
("../../flash/V01.swf")you specify on the screen. The only thing your
included javascript files do is execute the javascript that allows SWFObject
to gain control of it.
If you need more help understanding how to set up the dynamic publishing (if
that will meet your requirements), play with the link I posted, or post more
questions/read the documentation.
