Hi!

I have a web application that is supposed to start a flash movie. In IE and FireFox it works nice, but in Safari it doesnd load.

Here's the code:
<object id="obj1" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"codebase=" width="520" height="500">
<param name="movie" value="softcover-limfrest.swf">
<param NAME=autostart VALUE=true></embed></object>

Does anyone know why it doesnt load in safari?

By the way...

The web application has a onload function which is like this:

<body onload="onL()">

function onL(){


theObject = document.getElementById("obj1");
theObject.outerHTML = theObject.outerHTML;

//window.location.reload();
}

I have now this code that works in IE.
It also starts the flash automatically, but it doesn't work in FireFox...
I only get the text: "This text is replaced by the Flash movie."

Heres the code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

<div id="flashcontent">
This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("mymovie.swf", "mymovie", "400", "200", "8", "#336699");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

I get the error SWFObject is not defined. it refers to this line:
var so = new SWFObject("hardcover-overtrekk.swf", "mymovie", "520", "520", "8", "#fffff");

By the way: The error console is excellent tool for debugging:)
