is there a way to count how many flash objects are embeded on a webpag

[gigi]

simple question: is there some way to get the number of flash objects currently present on a page via javascript? some DOM function maybe? or any other way..

thanks!

may be this can help you...

var obj = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
alert("No of Embeeded Objects = " + obj.length);

/*
"getElementsByTagName" method gives the references to the no. of occurances of tagname specified in the parameter.

this may work in case your site contains only flash objects

or else you have to render this through a loop and identify the type of object it is.
