It does sound like the flash hasn't loaded yet. Maybe trying moving
the function call to a $(window).load() callback, or maybe try just a
good old fashioned delay. Something like:
setTimeout(function() { venueSwap(randomVenue);}, 750);
Maybe tweak the time and see if it helps. Also, bear in mind that
differences in bandwidth might affect the time it takes to load the
flash.
I'm sort of thinking out loud here, but maybe javascript is the wrong
solution. Maybe you should set a random venue from within the flash
once it loads. If that's not possible, maybe have your flash call a
JavaScript function to notify that it is ready. Then that function
could call back to the flash. Or maybe the flash could call a
getRandomVenue() javascript function that would just return said
random venue.
