[SWFObject] Is Express Install down?

[Geoff Stearns]

here's the word:

"Yes, this is a known issue. We migrated the main sites  
macromedia.com to adobe.com Sunday night, and there seems to be a DNS  
issue where fpdownload.macromedia.com is incorrectly resolving to an  
adobe.com IP address."

so for now, I recommend just disabling ExpressInstall, so your users  
will see your upgrade message or alternate content, and when the  
issue is resolved, flip it back on.

(to disable it with swfobject, just remove the 'true' after you  
specify the background color in the constructor)
