[SWFObject] Redirect Troubles

[Geoff Stearns]

yes, you need to test this on a web server - when the expressinstall  
starts, SWFObject passes in the URL to the page you are on, and then  
the adobe upgrade swf stores that in a shared object. when the  
install is done, you go to adobe.com and their site reads that shared  
object and directs you back to the original page. if it's a local  
url, it doesn't redirect you.
