[SWFObject] JS-error in FireFox: "setting a property that has only a getter"

[Geoff Stearns]

Thanks...

It looks like this is what's happening:

your ad js inserts an object tag, and when the page unloads, the new  
cleanup code loops over all the object tags in the page and tries to  
kill all the functions inside them. apparently firefox doesn't like  
you doing this, so thows that warning when the page unloads (which is  
why it says no errors - it's just when you leave the page)

I've made a small modification to swfobject - try out the attached  
file and see if you still get the error.

i'd also like someone to test this version with a streaming file to  
make sure that it doesn't break the other fixes that are now in it.
