Force SWF (Flash file) to load LAST after rest of webpage

Question

I have a rather complex flash clip that ends up bogging down the loading of the rest of my webpage.

Can I force the flash to wait to load until the rest of the site loads?

Answer 1

If you do not mind to have javascript you may use something like SFWObject 2 library, here is documentation page http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation there is different methods for using it, so you just need pick up which is more appropriate in your case. Main idea you may trigger swf player initialization with javascript, so you could control time when this happen, and so using it just do that after onload event triggering. But assume problem cold be more complicated than just delaying your clip, so try to test it on different computers and browsers.
