[SWFObject] Resizing swfObjects without reloading

[Geoff Stearns]

this would rewrite the flash movie to the page, which you probably  
don't want.

you could try setting the height of the object/embed tag using  
javascript instead.

just use the id you specify when you write it to the page - the id is  
the second parameter in the 'new SWFObject' line.

so it would be:

document.getElementById('swfid').style.height = 500;

(or something close to that)
