Append swf file - Spry.Utils.updateContent - not work

Question

I don't understand this
When I try to add swf file to Spry Tabbed Panels content -
everything is OK. Now - in tabbed panels content I want to insert
data from external html files. In this external file I have swf
file and text, and images. When I preview this html external file
in browser - all data are displayed correctly. When I try append
this file into tabbed panels content :
<a href="#" onclick="Spry.Utils.updateContent('apDiv1',
'products/products1.htm'); return false;">Append file</a>
only swf file in a new window are display.
If I delete swf content from external html file - everything
is ok. But if in external append file is a swf content - IE display
only swf file.
Is there posible to append html file with swf file in this
method in any way?

Hi Elaine,
The implementation of AC_FL_RunContent() suggests that it was
only meant to be run *BEFORE* the page finishes loading. Because
Spry data sets and regions load and redraw asynchronously, usually
*after* the page finishes loading, they are not compatible. As
we've mentioned above, if Spry triggers the call to
AC_FL_RunContent(), it will most likely be *after* the onload event
has fired, and since AC_FL_RunContent() uses document.write() it
will result in the entire page being overwritten by the
<object>/<embed> tag that it writes out.
That all said, libraries like SWFObject were designed to be
called even after the onload event fires, at least from what I can
tell from their samples. If you need to extract data from a data
set to create your SWFObject, you can simply attach an observer to
your data set that will tell the swfobject to do what it is you
want it to do. For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var dsProducts = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("products.xml",
"/products/product");
// Register an observer on dsProducts so that any time it
changes data or the current
// row changes, it tells the swfobject what to do:
dsProducts.addObserver(function(notificationType, notifier,
data)
if (notificationType != "onDataChanged" || notificationType
!= "onCurrentRowChanged")
return;
// Do something with the swfobject here:
var curRow = dsProducts.getCurrentRow();
// The following embedSWF call is only an example of how to
get the "productURL" column
// value for the current row and pass it to the swfobject.
The rest of the args, are left as names to
// show you what you should be passing.
swfobject.embedSWF(curRow.productURL, replaceElemIdStr,
widthStr, heightStr, swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, flashvarsObj,
parObj, attObj);
</script>
