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

[Geoff Stearns]

That's basically how it works, but once the browser renders the <img>  
tag, it will start loading the image immediately, even if you replace  
that tag.

If it's a big image and you don't want to trigger it unless they  
don't have flash, you could use Javascript to load it...

set up your embed like:

var so = new SWFObject(...);
if (!so.write('content')) {
	// do stuff to load the image
}

then maybe just include a <noscript> tag in there with the image for  
people without javascript and for google.
