The new Linux Flash 9 player reports "Shockwave Flash 9.0 d78" for
navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description
On other platforms an "r" is used - e.g. "Shockwave Flash 9.0 r28"

This confuses SWFObject 1.4.2
deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion() which is parsing using a
regexp that expects an "r", so the version returned is 9.0.0. So an
ExpressInstall upgrade is triggered, but the Linux player doesn't
support ExpressInstall.

Not sure if this is just because it's a beta, or if SWFObject should
change to handle it.
