[SWFObject] swfobject_jskit only works in FF on reload

[David Waclo]

Hello,

  I'm not sure if the problem I'm having is with how I'm  using the the 
swfobject_jskit or with the way I have my javascript written:

http://wolfsmithmedia.com/TestDave/webN.php

  The green box should display the width of the of the page. It works fine 
in IE on windows, but on FireFox in Windows it usually doesn't work. If I 
reload the page several times, it eventually will work. On Firefox for a 
Mac, it doesn't work the first time, but always works if I reload the page. 
The only thing I can think is that its some kind of timing thing with the 
order the files are loaded.
  The width of the window is read by the javascript and sent to the swf via 
the swfobject gateway when the window is resized. That width is then 
displayed with the displayData function in the swf exactly as in Geoff's 
example in the kit.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've already spent a lot of time 
trying to figure this out. I also realize I could use the External Interface 
in Flash 8, but we're trying to avoid forcing people to upgrade.

Here is the javascript:

<script language="JavaScript">

	// tells function to do only once for IE and Opera
	var doneYet = false;
	// event occurs when window is resized
	window.onresize = resizer;

	// IE, Opera, Safari trip onresize continuously as mouse is pressed, so 
function is set to do once a second
	function resizer() {
		if (!doneYet) {
			setTimeout('doOnce()', 1000);
			doneYet = true;
		}
	}

	function doOnce() {
		sendSwf();
		doneYet = false;
	}

	var winW = 630, winH = 460;

	// gets width and height of window: IE uses document.etc while opera, FF 
use window.etc
	function winDim() {
		if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3) {
			if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft")!=-1) {
			  winW = document.body.offsetWidth - 20 ;
			  winH = document.body.offsetHeight - 20;
			} else {
			  winW = window.innerWidth - 16;
			  winH = window.innerHeight - 16;
			}
		}
	}

	// gets dimensions for initial loading of swf.
	winDim();

	// uses gateway to send winW to functions in the swf
	function sendSwf() {
		winDim();
		swf.call('displayData', winW);
		swf.call('getWidths', winW);
	}

	</script>

	<div align="center" id="flashcontent">

		Flash here
	</div>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		var swf = new SWFObject("webN.swf", "jsdisplay", "2000", "116", "6.0.65", 
"#ffffff");
		swf.setProxy(null, 'swfobject_js_gateway.swf');
		swf.addParam("quality", "high");
		swf.addParam("wmode", "transparent");

		// --> here I add a bunch of variables using swf.addVariable

	  	 swf.write("flashcontent");

	  	 sendSwf();

	</script>
