[osflash] [SWFObject] Passing flashvars makes swf doesn't initialize incorrectly

[Geoff Stearns]

so using a preloader fixes it?

i've heard of one other person having this problem (i think on the  
SWFObject mailing list) - and i think they fixed it by just waiting a  
frame before trying to access the flashvars.

not sure why this happens, since the flashvars are passed in the html  
when it writes it to the page... so it's probably some bug in the way  
the browser handles plugins that are written to the page using  
javascript/innerhtml
