[SWFObject] swfobject_jskit only works in FF on reload

[Muzak]

You're doing things the hard way.
You don't need any javascript to display a flash movie at 100% and respond to browser/movie resizing.
Look into the actionscript Stage class.

Try the following in a new FLA, test it and resize the window/flash movie.

Stage.scaleMode="noScale";
Stage.align="TL";
Stage.addListener(this);

function onResize(){
    trace("stage width: "+Stage.width);
    trace("stage height: "+Stage.height);
}

regards,
Muzak
