[SWFObject] Refreshing page before Flash movie appears

[Geoff Stearns]

opera doesn't require the click to activate - there must be something  
funky going on in your browser.

if you ever have issues, you can always do this:

1) check my test/example page - make sure that my page works, if it  
does and yours is broken, then there's something wrong with your code.

2) uninstall and reinstall the flash player - often times the player  
gets corrupt from switching versions around or installing new  
browsers that we as developers often do.
