Hi Rob. When are you trying to invoke the EI methods? (perhaps are you trying to call methods on the swf before it is actually available? Or are you calling js methods FROM flash?)
Also, to (temporarily remove) caching as a possible issue, can you tack on a cache busting querystring to both your shell.swf and appmain.swf by adding a unique number like so: flashvars.swfURL = "http://my_CDN_url/appmain.swf?r="; new Date().getTime(); This will ensure you are always loading a fresh swf. If you find there is no difference in behaviour when you close and re-open / refresh etc, then you can discount that caching might have been contributing. A couple of other things I noticed on your pastebin code: - your swfobject code block is in the <body>, are you able to move it into the <head>? This is really where it belongs as it can execute its code before the body starts rendering to page / SWFobject can acess all DOM elelments. - in your attributes, you specify a different name and id ("flashObjID" and "flashObj"). These should be the same to ensure all browsers can target your swf properly for EI. I feel for you being stuck on this for a while. Hopefully we can work through what might be going wrong.
