SWFObject 2.2 and FireFox 3.5.5 problem
Tom
Just wanted to share this with the group. I was using SWFObject 2.2
to embed a SWF into a generic HTML wrapper. The HTML literally had
nothing more than the JS and DIV tag needed to get this thing
running. When I tossed my finished product on the web I could view it
in Safari, IE 6 through 8, Google Chrome, and Opera. I could not view
it in FireFox 3.5.5 When I switched my SWFObject wrapper with the
HTML wrapper that is automatically generated by Flex I could then view
my SWF in FireFox. Again, the SWFObject wrapper that I was using did
not contain any CSS or any other JS calls that would cause the file to
typically only work in certain browsers.

The only problem with that in this instance is that this one wasn't
found in the FAQ. It was found buried deep within the issues list. On
top of that, it appears to have been closed and considered "invalid".
I'm not sure how it can be invalid if it's an actual problem. As a
matter of fact, I actually talked to quite a few developers today who
reported having the same exact problem.
Maybe it needs to be added to the FAQ so other people can find it
there when they start, huh?
But thanks for the help and words of encouragement! :)

FAQ #1 is explicitly about this issue. I'm confused why you think it's not?

the swf wasn't showing up at all in Firefox, not how to make the width
100%.
While I stand corrected, I think there may need to be a question that
addresses the issue as it seems most people see it: "why doesn't my
swf show up in Firefox?"... even with that, the answer could point to
FAQ #1... I talked to a lot of devs today who had the same problem and
had no idea why it was happening. Some were even saying that SWFObject
+ Firefox 3.5 = flakey and they were exploring other options.
Might just need a little more clarity in the question I think.
Thanks for pointing it out to me Kyle.

why does it disappear in Firefox?" :)

attitude that may have come across in it.
I'll point the others to FAQ #1.
Thanks again,
