I'm not commenting on how noobish people are, but how much times the 
same questions come again and again.

swfobject is a one man stuff.
Documentation is clear and there is an article on Adobe too.

What do you want more ?
Maybe contribute to get less "files slightly confusing" ?

Jan, if you need vertical & horyzontal centering of swfobject, just use 
:
(see example at : http://vmalek.murphy.cz/)

       <style type="text/css">
          html, body   { background-color: red; height: 100%; margin: 0; 
padding: 0;
                         color: white; text-align: center; }
          #flashcontent { border: 0; background-color: white; height: 
50%; width: 50%;
                         position: absolute; left: 25%; top: 25%; color: 
black; }
       </style>

…

var so = new SWFObject("yournamehere.swf", "sotester", "100%",
"100%", "8", "#FF6600");
so.write("flashcontent");


Sorry to be soooooo harsh.
