Loading Java Time Delay of Flash 2 Movies with Flash 3 Plug-in
Issue
A Flash 2 movie with JavaScripting or FS Commands with the Flash Player 3 plug-in produces a loading Java time delay in Netscape.
Reason
In Netscape 4, Java is not initiated until the first encounter in a browser session. If Java has not yet been initiated when arriving at a page containing a Flash Player movie, there is a slight delay while Netscape initiates LiveConnect. Notice the "Starting Java" message in the Netscape status bar. Flash Player movies need LiveConnect if they are are using FSCommands or JavaScripting.
To prevent the delay, a flag was added to the Flash Player 3 plug-in to detect if LiveConnect is needed. The default "false" value of the "swliveconnect" attribute does not initiate LiveConnect. To initiate LiveConnect set the value to "true".
Solution
To play Flash movies requiring LiveConnect using the Flash 3 plug-in, add the attribute "swliveconnect=true" to your EMBED tag in the HTML code.
