[SWFObject] Express Install unsupported

[Geoff Stearns]

I didn't include a check for those players because they were beta/ 
prerelease players, so in theory, only flash devs would have those  
versions installed...

'normal' users should only have players that support the upgrade, so  
you probably don't have to worry about it.
