[SWFObject] Refreshing page before Flash movie appears

Tue Jun 27 18:41:45 PDT 2006

Hi Colin,

Thanks for the heads up. I thought I had inserted the code as described
on the site but I was in a hurry. I will try it at the first
opportunity.

Hi Geoff,

I need the site to work identically :) in all browsers so SWFObject
still makes sense. I'll try reinstalling the Flash Player, however,
Opera 9 has only been out for less than a week. Has anyone else tested
it or noticed different behaviour from it?

Cheers

Daniel
