[SWFObject] Deeplinking w/ Anchors into containers

[Geoff Stearns]

you can do it either way... swfobject will look for the query string  
first, and if that fails it will check for a hash string like the one  
i used...

the hash string is useful when you want to do deep link functionality  
where the flash movie updates the hash when the user changes  
sections... but i'm working on changing the way that works so it's  
more in line with more common practices, like the hashes you use when  
using SWFAddress.
