swfObject slowing load of Flash

programming web dev
1

Hi,

I have converted a full flash site from the default publish settings in CS5 to using swfObject. This has made the load time of the page significantly longer

Is there anyway I can speed up the process or optimise it in any way?

Here is my code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
 
		<script type="text/javascript">
			<!-- Adobe recommends that developers use SWFObject2 for Flash Player detection. -->
			<!-- For more information see the SWFObject page at Google code (http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/). -->
			<!-- Information is also available on the Adobe Developer Connection Under Detecting Flash Player versions and embedding SWF files with SWFObject 2" -->
			<!-- Set to minimum required Flash Player version or 0 for no version detection -->
			var swfVersionStr = "9.0.115";
			<!-- xiSwfUrlStr can be used to define an express installer SWF. -->
			var xiSwfUrlStr = "expressInstall.swf";
			var flashvars = {};
			var params = {};
			params.quality = "high";
			params.bgcolor = "#ffbd17";
			params.play = "true";
			params.loop = "true";
			params.wmode = "window";
			params.scale = "noscale";
			params.menu = "true";
			params.devicefont = "false";
			params.salign = "";
			params.allowscriptaccess = "sameDomain";
			params.allowFullScreen = "true";
			var attributes = {};
			attributes.id = "preloader";
			attributes.name = "preloader";
			attributes.align = "middle";
			 //swfobject.switchOffAutoHideShow(); 
			swfobject.createCSS("html", "height:100%; background-color: #ffbd17;");
			swfobject.createCSS("body", "margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; height:100%;");
			swfobject.embedSWF(
				"preloader.swf", "flashContent",
				"100%", "100%",
				swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr,
				flashvars, params, attributes);
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<!-- SWFObject's dynamic embed method replaces this alternative HTML content for Flash content when enough JavaScript and Flash plug-in support is available. -->
		<div id="flashContent">....etc

Thanks
Phil
