[SWFObject] bypass detection

[Reed, Scott]

I've been working with SWFObject and replaced most of the previous
detection code I was using but I think I might have missed something
very basic. The default behavior in IE and Firefox (at least the latest
versions) seems to be to initiate the install/upgrade and then load the
content all very seamlessly. I find this to be a better experience that
what I am doing. In most cases I am displaying alternate content in the
div tag that instructs the user to click on a button which points to the
upgrade page on Macromedia. This initiates a much less user-friendly
install experience because of redirects/opening and closing of windows,
etc. I was thinking that I could replace my link to Macromedia with the
bypass link and get the best of both worlds, but the bypass link seems
to still stop the automatic browser install. I'm just using a link back
to the current page with ?flashDetect=false. Am I missing something
about the intent of this or doing something wrong?
