    --The above code get's an error in firefox that 'var n' is not defined - that's in the function so.write(). Using the source(uncompressed) version works fine.

    Sorry didn't mention, this is the 1.5 version

    check these first. Is this a variable or parameter?
    so.addVariable("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain");

    and what is this ---> "high")

    ======function in swfobject_source.js============
    write: function(elementId){
    if(this.getAttribute('useExpressInstall')) {
    // check to see if we need to do an express install
    var expressInstallReqVer = new deconcept.PlayerVersion([6,0,65]);
    if (this.installedVer.versionIsValid(expressInstallReqVer) && !this.installedVer.versionIsValid(this.getAttribute('version'))) {
    this.setAttribute('doExpressInstall', true);
    this.addVariable("MMredirectURL", escape(this.getAttribute('xiRedirectUrl')));
    document.title = document.title.slice(0, 47) + " - Flash Player Installation";
    this.addVariable("MMdoctitle", document.title);
    }
    }
    if(this.skipDetect || this.getAttribute('doExpressInstall') || this.installedVer.versionIsValid(this.getAttribute('version'))){
    var n = (typeof elementId == 'string') ? document.getElementById(elementId) : elementId;
    n.innerHTML = this.getSWFHTML();
    return true;
    }else{
    if(this.getAttribute('redirectUrl') != "") {
    document.location.replace(this.getAttribute('redirectUrl'));
    }
    }
    return false;
    }
    ======================================
    The line that causes the error is this... var n = (typeof elementId == 'string') ? document.getElementById(elementId) : elementId; - it's in bold above.

    var n should be true/false but the error says it's not defined - this must be a bug with the compressor their using.
  5.  
    sorry var n should equal the DOM object that was passed in as an argument to the function...

    it should be fine as long as you have an element in your document with an id of "carbon_app"

    that line referenced above just lets you pass in either a string or an html element reference to write the swf into.

    I have tested the below with Firefox and the compress 1.5 js, and it gets no errors. Try this simple test case, then re-introduce you css classes etc. Notice the addPram rather than addVariable, and removeal of "high" as that is the default value set by swfObject anyhow.

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

    <body>
    <div id="carbon_app">
    test this
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    // <![CDATA[
    var so = new SWFObject("("/modules/carbon/CarbonFlash.swf?fileName=/modules/carbon/mannequin_list.php", "CarbonFlash", "100%", "100%", "8", "#cccccc");
    so.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain");
    so.write("carbon_app");
    // ]]>
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    The following decleration is more simple and readable.

    // <![CDATA[
    var so = new SWFObject("("/modules/carbon/CarbonFlash.swf", "CarbonFlash", "100%", "100%", "8", "#cccccc");
    so.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "sameDomain");
    so.addVariable("fileName","/modules/carbon/mannequin_list.php");
    so.write("carbon_app");
    // ]]>
