[SWFObject] express install redirect

[Geoff Stearns]

ah, i missed your old e-mail because your subject wasn't accurate!

i've never heard of firewalls blocking express install - it's just a  
generic loadMovie() call, so unless your firewall is *really* picky  
and blocks all those, i don't think there should be an issue.

has anoyone else had firewall issues with express install?
