[SWFObject] Flash loading before other content

Mon Aug 28 17:48:23 PDT 2006

    I have to load the flash after the rest of the content on my page 
due to an awful IE bug.  This is a JavaScript thing, not so much a Flash 
thing, but here's a stripped down version of how you do it.  This will 
wait until the page is entirely loaded (images and all), and then run 
the function that is listed in the "onload".


<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function on_load() {
     //Add  SWFObject loading stuff here.
  }
</script>
</head>
<body onload="on_load();">
  <!-- HTML content goes here -->
</body>
</html>
