Google Chrome is still in an early beta phase, so please do submit your bugs to 
the
Google team.

We will keep an eye on the project as it evolves.

Today I've run the SWFObject 2.1 test suite through Goggle Chrome 0.2.149.30 on 
Win
XP SP3 and all tests passed. 

I have also ran the Flash embed test suite (object + embed only) though it and
concluded that it behaves just like recent Webkit engines.

I also found this problem and I think tracked it down.  I created a minimal 
test page 
without a "head" tag and it failed.  Adding the <head></head> fixed it.

The problem is in this source code:

    /* Cross-browser dynamic CSS creation
        - Based on Bobby van der Sluis' solution: 
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/articles/dynamicCSS.php
    */  
    function createCSS(sel, decl) {
        if (ua.ie && ua.mac) {
            return;
        }
        var h = doc.getElementsByTagName("head")[0], s = 
createElement("style");
        s.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
        s.setAttribute("media", "screen");
        if (!(ua.ie && ua.win) && typeof doc.createTextNode != UNDEF) {
            s.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(sel + " {" + decl + "}"));
        }
        h.appendChild(s);
        if (ua.ie && ua.win && typeof doc.styleSheets != UNDEF && 
doc.styleSheets.length > 0) {
            var ls = doc.styleSheets[doc.styleSheets.length - 1];
            if (typeof ls.addRule == OBJECT) {
                ls.addRule(sel, decl);
            }
        }
    }

Evidently, whereas in Firefox and IE 

doc.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]

returns something reasonable when there is no head, in Chrome it returns null.

I realize that this may be nonstandard, but it should be simple to fix.

Please red issue report 222: 
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/issues/detail?id=222

Note that Google Chrome also use Webkit just like Safari

I found a simple solution for this.
It seems that chrome loads external javascript asynchrnously.
So at the time swfoject is invoked, "swfobject" in NULL.

Solution: add a line before the swfobect line:

while (!swfobject) {}

and it works :)
