[SWFObject] express install redirect

[Geoff Stearns]

It's supposed to upgrade you on the current page without redirecting  
you to macromedia.

it's different on a mac vs. pc too, on a PC, the user clicks 'yes',  
the upgrade will download and the install starts. the installer then  
closes the current window and the browser will re-open and direct  
back to the page that the installer was launched from.

on a mac, the user clicks 'yes', the installer downloads, but they  
then have to quit the browser. once they quit the browser, the  
installer will upgrade them, and when the upgrade is done, it re- 
opens the browser, and they are redirected back to the page that  
started the install.
