preload flash in firefox

[dancinkid6]

hello, i ran into a problem when preload flash in firefox

writeFlash("bg11", "bg.swf"); // a function i made to write flash
if(ie_flag=="yes")
fl = document.getElementById("bg11");
else
fl = document.bg11;

if(fl.PercentLoaded == 100)
{
showFlash();
}

this works fine for both IE and Firefox, however, when i put a div tag around the flash, this stopped working for firefox.

error msg is "fl.percentloaded is not a function"

very strange, does anyone know how to solve it?

thanks in advance

FF uses the embed tag...

And you should look into this workaround for the Eolas problem...

Works marvelously well...

so i would be able to call PercentLoaded directly with the SWFObject?? just wanna make sure cuz this would require quite a bit work from my current script

Sorry, don't understand what you're getting at!

What is supposed to be preloaded? The Flash movie, before you embed it?

yes, i am preloading this flash in a hidden div, and show it after it is fully loaded.

just tried the SWFObject thingy, it doesnt work
