[SWFObject] Express Install Redirect Issue

[Geoff Stearns]

first off: i don't recommend doing that.

when the user finishes their install, the original window will close,  
and a new browser window will open and redirect to your site, so the  
user will have the address bar and all their default toolbars active.

then if you resize that window, all that stuff will still be there  
and it will look really funny.

the best you can do is to detect the referring site (check for  
adobe.com) and then show a special message, like 'your upgrade was  
successful, click here to continue' or something like that.
