[SWFObject] Setting codebase attribute

[Geoff Stearns]

It's not there because the plugin code would never be written to the  
page unless they already had the required plugin version.

If they have flash, they see the flash, if they don't have flash,  
they see your alternate content.

My advice would be to put a link in your alternate content that links  
them to a special 'upgrade' page similar to adobe's upgrade page that  
gives instructions on how to install the plugin (and all the dialogs  
they have to click to accept it and all that). Of course you could  
also just link to the adobe site since they already have all that  
info up there..
