Topic: swfobject and extended url weirdness

I'm trying to use swfobject on my site and I got it to work but it only works if the url is a short, non extended url.  It's very strange.  For example I have my routes set up so 'home' goes to 'store/home'.  If i type in 'mysite/home' swfobject works.  If I type in 'mysite/store/home' it does not work.  Same goes whether or not it involves my custom routes.  My use of swfobject is exactly the same on every page.

Info:

Re: swfobject and extended url weirdness

Well I'm not exactly sure why it wasn't working but some guy's helper method posted here: http://pastie.textmate.org/private/nu0h … toi58j4kha did the job for me.  I think it has something to do with those numbers rails puts after link locations in html.  For example: src="/javascripts/prototype.js?1269483179".  But again, it's working, don't care. :)
