[SWFObject] Linux flash 9

[Geoff Stearns]

ah cool... the d is odd, i haven't seen that before. I also wasn't  
aware that the linux player didn't support express install, which  
means i'll have to make some changes to the code...

thanks for the heads up, i'll make some changes to the 1.5 version  
before I release it that should address this.
