Does swfobject.createSWF() not return an <object> that can be stored for use later?

[c.wrinn]

I'm trying to update VideoBox to use SWFObject 2.2 and when I do

this.so = swfobject.createSWF(att, par, id);

this.so is [undefined].

The used to store a new SWFObject in this.so and inject it later.

Please read the documentation carefully. Also, consider using the
code-generator to help get the new syntax code generated for you.

http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation

http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api

http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/generator

In particular to your code question, it's probably returning undefined
because you are making the call before the DOM is ready, so you won't have
an object created yet, swfobject will queue the call to create the object
until domready.

The call is not being made before the dom is ready. The call is being
made on a click event, long after domready, the class' constructor
isn't even run until DOMReady for the exact reason you refer to.

I have been reading the documentation, which specifically reads
"Returns the newly created object element", yet I still get
"undefined".

Nevermind, I got this working. Videobox is effectively converted from
SWFObject 1.5 to 2.2 :) going to post this in a bit.

Andreas,

Attached is the updated VideoBox, updated to use SWFObject 2.2. I had
meant to post this but got sidetracked at work. It works for me on the
projects I have used it on so far.

Hi Christopher,

thank you very much for sharing this.
It works perfectly for me as well.
Excellent work! I really appreciate it.

My Best,
Andreas
