[SWFObject] placing the swfobject.js

[dayvid jones]

Thanks Geoff,

Did  <script language="javascript1.1" defer src="/jshitbox/hbe- 
media.js"></script>  not load on both pages?

This page doesn't' have SWFObject:

http://sparkdev2003.sparktop.org/games/games.html

Is this page loading <script language="javascript1.1" defer src="/ 
jshitbox/hbe-media.js"></script> ?

Thanks so very much!
