Thanks so much for the quick reply,
I've just tried the base param as follows:
<script type="text/javascript" src="swf/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {base: "swf/"};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("swf/preloader.swf",
"flash_replace", "430",
"218", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
This has corrected the problem to some degree. The preloader.swf file
has the preloader and also an image on the first frame. The preloader
is now counting up correctly but when it reaches 100%, the image
that's on frame one still remains for about 4 or 5 seconds before the
video appears. I thought that the preloader was supposed to end at the
point at which the video appears.
I'm not sure whether this is a swfObject related issue or something to
do with the code in either of the swf files.
Can you comment further?
