Please could you tell me why the code below works fine with SWFObject 1.5 (swf is dispayed OK) and not with SWFObject 2.2 (shows only Alternative HTML Content)?
Tested in IE6,7, FF3.5, Opera10.10, all look the same.

Thank you.

Check out their SWFObject documentation (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation) when you have some time. If you read through, you'll note that 1.5 and 2.2 aren't compatible. Their API (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api) has changed a bit, and it appears that write() has been deprecated in favor of embedSWF().

Thank you very much!

I replaced
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("test.swf", "mymovie", "100%", "100%", "10", "#FFFFFF");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
with
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.embedSWF("test.swf", "myContent", "100%", "100%", "10", "#FFFFFF");
</script>

and it works!

Thanks a lot for your help, best regards.
