removeSWF error in Safari 4 with swfobject v 2.2

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When calling swfobject.removeSWF(objElemIdStr)
Safari 4 crashes with error 4148
This only happens using swfobject version 2.2 and not 2.1
The error does not occur using Safari 3
This has been verified using XP 32bit with SP3 and with Vista 64bit SP1.

I can reproduce this error in Mac OSX 10.5.7 with Safari 4.0.1

I have tested in both 2.1 and 2.2 as well as AC Run Active content..  All of 
them
cause safari to crash when the flash object is removed.  

Firefox and IE7/8 do not crash.  

This only happens with the specific swf I am working with, I have tested other 
SWF
files which can be removed properly (in 2.1).  Therefore this appears to have
something to do with the specific SWF.

No problem, for both 2.1 and 2.2 releases the removeSWF method has been tested 
in
Safari 4 without any errors.

I was running into this issue as well. In my case, I found that if Flash was 
the one 
who called a javascript function to destroy the same Flash object with 
swfobject.removeSWF(objElemIdStr), Safari crashed. To get around this, I 
wrapped it in 
a setTimeout and called it late.  Hope this helps.

ie: setTimeout('swfobject.removeSWF(objElemIdStr);', 100);

Yes that is exactly what was happening.  I also noticed that setting the flash 
to
either opaque or transparent also aided in safari crashing

I am also having this problem.  Safari 4 will crash when you call a javascript
function to distroy to SWF using swfobject.removeSWF and also if you have the 
wmode
set to "Transparent" or "Opaque".  I have tried doing 
"ie: setTimeout('swfobject.removeSWF(objElemIdStr);', 100);" but did not work 
for me.

Found this issue when working with a swf that has been dynamically added, is 
using
externalInterface to trigger the removal and the swf is transparent.
