I ran into an issue today with SWFObject and thought I would post this
in hopes it might help someone else in the future. I'm a newbie in
this group so I hope this is posted OK. :)
I was debugging a problem with swf loading issues and noticed that the
function parms for swfobject in our js did not use the callbackFn for
embedswf.
The doc says:
"callbackFn (JavaScript function, optional) can be used to define a
callback function that is called on both success or failure of
embedding a SWF file "
so I thought great! I can use this to tell if my swf has
suvccessfully loaded or not. But I was always getting back TRUE no
matter whether I gave it a real swf file name or one that didn't
exist. I debugged the embedswf function and found that my confirm()
below was popping every time:
if (hasPlayerVersion(swfVersionStr)) {
// create SWF
var obj = createSWF(att, par,
replaceElemIdStr);
if (att.id == replaceElemIdStr)
{
setVisibility(replaceElemIdStr, true);
}
confirm("hasPlayerVersion");
callbackObj.success = true;
callbackObj.ref = obj;
}
Therefore it seems like the description in the doc is misleading. It
doesn't really tell us the "success or failure of embedding a SWF
file" - it only tell us the result of the two steps above.
I;m not sure what the most accurate description would be but the
current description sure had me foooled for a while.
Thanks!
