[SWFObject] suggested feature

Wed May 3 18:28:57 PDT 2006

you can reuse the name over and over if you want...

every time you call 'new SWFObject()' it would just overwrite the  
last one, so the div ids (and swfobject ids) are the only thing that  
needs to be unique.

also it's really easy to extend swfobject - you could make your own  
javascript that adds on to the SWFObject.prototype, so if you want to  
write extensions for it, go right ahead and if it's something useful  
that people will use, i'd consider offering it for download on the  
main SWFObject page.

i've converted the js integration kit over to SWFObject so far, and  
plan on releasing that very soon, and it works like an extension -  
just adding a few extra functions for you to use.
