[SWFObject] Check if swf exists

[Geoff Stearns]

it doesn't exist, and i'm not even sure it would be possible to  
create something like that that would work reliably...

you could maybe do some sort of ajax call and check the response, but  
if you get a 404 erorr (file not found) then you have to worry about  
different 404 pages, or reading the http header...

sounds like not a lot of fun.

anyway, you shouldn't be embedding swfs if you don't know they exist  
or not.
