stange swfobject ie6 error stops flash vars loading
well just spent 2 hours fixing this bug so hopefully this helps someone out there. I'm building a flash site as usual using the latest swfobject ( 2.2 ). the site was great in every browser except ie6 where for some reason my preloader was getting called twice and on the second load, the flashvars were ignored making the whole site break.
solution : normally i have my swfobject code called in the head section. i found that if i wrapped the embed code in a function, and then called that function on the body onload event it fixed the bug. once the site is launched. i'll post the code. send me an email if you need it sooner.
EDIT: here's the website that I used this trick on :
