[SWFObject] SWFObject - FSCommand problem

Wed May 17 14:05:34 PDT 2006

I have a problem: Flash FSCommand() does not work when I use SWFObject to load my Flash movie.

I have included my code in two(2) parts:  First is the JavaScript I use to load my movie; second, is JavaScript is use for the FSCommand - this is the standard script generated by my Flash editor.

When I run using the <object> . . . </object> my FSCommand() work with the html just fine.
However; when I mark the <object>. . .</object> as a comment and use SWFObject, FSCommand() does not work.

Do I need any special parameters with SWFObject to make the FSCommand() work?
What do I need to do to use both SWFObject and FSCommand()?

Be of good cheer,
Charles

   var flashMovie = new Array();

    flashMovie["mastHead"] = new setFlashMovie("mastheadWelcome.swf", "myMovie", "770", "100", "5", "#F1F1E3", "masthead");
