'Console' is undefined [#797632]

In FF3.6 IE6, IE7 and IE8 (other browsers not tested yet) the following error appears on pages using flowplayer:

Line: 58 (for IE6, IE7)
Line: 57 (for FF3.6, IE8)
Char: 5
Error: 'console' is not defined
Code: 0
URL: http://-website domain-/sites/all/modules/swftools/flowplayer3/swftools_flowplayer3.js?D

This is the line pointed to:

  console.log($(this).attr('class'));

Does anyone know how I could prevent this?

I'm quite sure the answer must be in this code somewhere, but I'm crap at javascript...

if (!window.console || !console.firebug)
{
    var names = ["log", "debug", "info", "warn", "error", "assert", "dir", "dirxml",
    "group", "groupEnd", "time", "timeEnd", "count", "trace", "profile", "profileEnd"];

    window.console = {};
    for (var i = 0; i < names.length; ++i)
        window.console[names[i]] = function() {}
}

Oops - that was a debug line that I've left in my mistake.

It's not present in the 6.x-3.x-dev package (at least, I don't think it is).

You can safely delete that line from /sites/all/modules/swftools/flowplayer3/swftools_flowplayer3.js.

Setting as fixed as this is a minor issue and it is already correct in the more recent releases.

But thanks for posting anyway!

I'm also experiencing this error, but I have 6.x-3.0-beta4 and I do not see that code in the specified file. Might something else be causing the problem?
