[SWFObject] FlashObject Undefined

Tue Oct 3 16:17:40 PDT 2006

I've updated to version 1.4.4 and converted all of my flash code to the
following format

Swfobject.js include line in the header (between the <head></head> tags)...

        <script language="javascript"
src="http://fundev.kaboose.com/swfobject.js"></script>

Code examples on a typical page...

                <div id="navBar"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    var so = new SWFObject("http://fundev.kaboose.com/topnav.swf", "topNav",
"995", "136", "6", "#DAEAAA");
    so.addVariable("xmldata", "http://fundev.kaboose.com/navXML.xml");
    so.addVariable("currentSelection", "3");
    so.setAttribute('xiRedirectUrl',
'http://fundev.kaboose.com/fun-blaster/halloween/index.html');
    so.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
    so.write("navBar");
    // ]]>
</script>

    <div id="subNavFlash"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
