    Hello,

    Thanks for this script. Simple way to use jQuery and SWFObject on the same time :

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
    var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "400", "100%", "8", "#336699");
    so.addParam("quality", "low");
    so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
    so.addParam("salign", "t");
    so.write("flashcontent");
    });
    </script>

    No bug on IE ;)

    bye,

    Thanks for that. I know a few people have been trying to get various implementations of thin/thickbox (through jQuery) working with SWFObject and running into issues. I don't use jQuery much for any of my work (and if I am using jQuery, then I tend not to use flash and vise versa), so I have spent no time trying to work out where the conflict actually comes from.

    Just to note down for anyone searching work solutions, there also seems to be a jQuery flash plugin which of course will be 100% compatible with jQuery. Anyone who is already versed in the jQuery notation will most likely find it easy to use. Find more info here:

    Just what I have been looking for, thanks. I've looked at the JQuery flash plugin and it seems to not handle the ExternalInterface stuff after a bit of testing. Might give this a go and see how it pans out.

    Indeed, it looks like there is no way to pass additional variables to the flash using jQuery only. I'm a missing something?
