Indeed swfaddress 2.3 only works with swfobject 2.1 in IE7 and IE6 and swfobject 2.2 works with swfaddress 2.2 and not swfaddress 2.3 or 2.3 latest trunk in IE7 and IE6
I guess it's up to developers which way they go. I guess you could argue that the bug is in swfobject - or you could argue that the bug is in swfaddress. Is it nigh on impossible to test compatibility between libs ? possibly. . . . The fact is there are many people who must use swfaddress and swfobject together so perhaps this needs to be mentioned in known issues on both projects ? If I get some time I will try and discover what is breaking compatibility. . . don't hold your breath though - I can think of more interesting things to do ;) Thanks for the help with tracking this down.
