Yes it seems fixed with that trick

i've heard of one other person having this problem (i think on the SWFObject

This was my first approach, but it doesn't work. Restarting my app server
(JOnAS), make the error appears always the first time I request the page, as
the main page has a lot of flash "pods".

not sure why this happens, since the flashvars are passed in the html when

I finaly, solved it with the preloader and didn't worry more about this
since I was request by other people of that project to solve the problem. I
don't like having a lot of swfs in one html and pass data via flashvars, so
I don't expect to find this issue a lot of in my projects ;)

Thanks for the response.

Best,

C.
