[SWFObject] Problem with multiple Flash animations on the page

[Geoff Stearns]

sounds like the same 'jumping' issue that we were just discussing..

have you done any other testing of this?

does it only happen when using swfobject?

what about using other js methods, or just using document.write() to  
write the swfs to the page?

what about using the normal object/embed tags that flash spits out?

does it only happen when one movie is directly under another one?

does it only affect swf files, or quicktime and wmv as well? - maybe  
try putting a quicktime movie on the page with a swf under it and see  
if the swf jumps up onto the quicktime movie...

try putting more space between the banners, does the lower one jump  
up to the top one, or does it slide up at all? or does it only happen  
when they are close to eachother?
