so I have this javascript/jquery to make a delay before showing a swf file, but its not working, when I say not working, I mean it does nothing…

Here is the script: 

        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.0.min.js" ></script>
        <link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >

<script>
function Func1()
{
$('#stage').html("<OBJECT style="z-index:2; position:absolute; top:20%; left:44%;" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" id="rice" ALIGN="">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="rice.swf"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399> <EMBED src="rice.swf" quality=high bgcolor=#333399 WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" NAME="rice" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></EMBED> </OBJECT>");
}

function Func1Delay()
{
setTimeout("Func1()", 10000);
}

</script>

Here is how I am calling the function: 

<body onload="Func1Delay()" >

It seems to be doing absolutley nothing… Thanks in advance.

    You have to escape the " in the object tag or else you’ll get syntax errors

    $('#stage').html("<OBJECT style=\"z-index:2; position:absolute; top:20%; left:44%;\" classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0\" WIDTH=\"320\" HEIGHT=\"240\" id=\"rice\" ALIGN=\"\">
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=\"rice.swf\"> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#333399> <EMBED src=\"rice.swf\" quality=high bgcolor=#333399 WIDTH=\"320\" HEIGHT=\"240\" NAME=\"rice\" ALIGN=\"\" TYPE=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" PLUGINSPAGE=\"http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer\"></EMBED> </OBJECT>");

    Also according to MDN using a string of code fot setTimeout is not recommended. use setTimeout(Func1, 10000); instead.
