Answer 1

You might need an other kind of workaround in js to call the flash function from any browser.

Here i share my way to accomplish this (hope it is not deprecated yet...). You need a javascript class (i named it FO):

/**
 * 
 * @param id
 * @param swf
 * @param width
 * @param height
 * @param scriptAccess
 * @param allowFullscreen
 * @return
 */
function FO(id, swf, width, height, scriptAccess, allowFullscreen){
    this.id = id;
    this.movie = swf;
    this.height = height ? height : 180;
    this.width = width ? width : 240;
    this.scriptAccess = scriptAccess ? scriptAccess : "always";
    this.allowFullscr = allowFullscreen ? "true" : "false";
    this.obj = document.createElement("embed");
    this.obj.src = this.movie;
    this.obj.width = this.width;
    this.obj.height = this.height;
    this.obj.name = this.id;
    this.obj.id = this.id;
    this.obj.align = "middle";
    this.obj.type = "application/x-shockwave-flash";
    this.obj.setAttribute("quality", "high");
    this.obj.setAttribute("bgColor", "#bee3f6");
    this.obj.setAttribute("play", "true");
    this.obj.setAttribute("loop", "false");
    this.obj.setAttribute("allowScriptAccess", this.scriptAccess);
    this.obj.setAttribute("allowFullscreen", this.allowFullscr);
    this.obj.setAttribute("pluginspage", "http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer");
}
FO.prototype = {
    id :null,
    width :null,
    height :null,
    movie :null,
    scriptAccess :null,
    allowFullscr :null,
    obj :null,

    addParam : function(name, value){
        var p = document.createElement("param");
        p.name = name;
        p.value = value;
        this.obj.appendChild(p);
    }
};

You will need an initialization method (or extend the existing one):

// should be called on window.onload
function init() {
    var flashObject = null;
    if (isIE)
        flashObject = document.getElementById("myMovieName");
    else 
    {
        flashObject = new FO("myMovieName", "ax.swf", 225, 200).obj;
        // **app** is the id of a div / html container element, 
        // in which your
