Thanks for this David, but do you know how to jump to an alternative HTML page using version 2.0 of SFWObject? I’ve had a look through the SFWObject website but can’t see it mentioned anywhere.

Cheers,

I use 100% for width and height, just like you did. That works for me! If you can show your HTML, that might help.

How do I make a swf stretch to fill the browser window using the swfObject method?
I tried changing the swfObject size to “100%’, “100%”, but that just positioned it in the top left corner (cutting it off for some reason).

The code I have usually used for this can be seen here http://www.hideaway-ludington.com/ but I now would like to achieve the same results using the swfObject to embed my swfs.

Could you show me how?

Thanks

Kit

I don’t think the white flash (no pun intended) is happening because of the traditional <object>/<embed> approach. You might have a preloader issue going on, but I do notice you’re not supplying a default color in your <object>/<embed> tags (bgcolor attribute). I recommend you use SWFObject (or something like it), just so you can provide alternate, indexable content, but even if you choose not to, see if adding bgcolor attribute helps.

So when you see sites like this (http://www.kitwilkins.com/parkcityproperties.html) which throw up a quick flash of white where the swf is waiting to load into, is it because they are not using the SWFobject to embed swfs? This has always bugged me.

Did that make sense?:)

Thanks for the clarification.

SWFAddress & SWFObject are different things, they do different jobs.

I haven’t used 2.0 yet, though I’ve done some reading up on it. It definitely looks different! Thanks for bringing it up, though. I certainly should get to know it better.

To Justin_P …

Ha, same goes for SWFAddress! Looks like I’ve got some research to do. Thanks for both of these replies!
