[SWFObject] the flash before flash

[Greg Brant]

Ok,


Got a work around.


// begin sudo html

<div id="flashContent">
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('flashContent').style.display='none';
</script>

<!-- all your alternate content here -->

</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
Var so = new SWFObject(blahh);
So.write("flashContent");
document.getElementById('flashContent').style.display='inline';
</script>


// end sudo html


Not perfect, but saves an unsightly flash of your alternate content
And degrades well because if javascript is not enabled in the client
then the
Site is not hidden in the first place.

Cheers

greg

another solution that came to mind may be this:

some browsers when rendering tables will not render the content until
the whole table is done loading - in contrast to this, if you are using
divs and whatnot, sometimes the browser will start to render the page
before the closing div.

so you might be able to place all your alternate content into one large
table with a single <td> and it might fix the problem.

obviously it isn't the best answer, and it is a bit hackish, but hey, if
it works for you and your clients, go for it.

if you end up trying it out, let us all know how it goes.
