[SWFObject] SWFAddress and Flex 2

Thanks for the try. The script is about to be released under MIT
license in the next few days. Currently you can browse the included js
file. Support for Safari is probably possible and I'll need to find a
way to test it somehow. I have some success with Opera 9, but it still
behaves strange.

Every library of this type has issues.

There's no additional JS code, you just need to include the file.
There're about 10 lines of AS and the rest that you may need to
implement depends on the complexity of the website.
