How to check if a swf is loaded using JavaScript with swfobject?

Question

I have the following swf:

    
    # load js
    

        

Answer 1

The swfobject callback only returns success if the DOM element was successfully created. It doesn't actually say anything about whether or not the SWF has loaded.

From the swfobject documentation:

NOTE: success is report as true if the minimum Flash player required is available and that the Flash plugin-in DOM element for the SWF was created. SWFObject cannot detect if the swf file request has actually loaded or not.
