[SWFObject] Multiple Flash files and images, download issues???

the browser will make 2 requests for the image...

if the image is done loading before the flash movie sends the request  
for it, it should be cached and the user won't have to download it  
again, but if it's a big image, and it's still loading in the html  
page when the flash movie sends the request, it will be downloaded  
twice.

this behavior might vary from browser to browser, though...
