[SWFObject] SWFObject 2.0 prerelease

[Geoff Stearns]

Hey all... had a great time at Flash Forward, and had some free time  
on the plane ride back, so I decided to start working on SWFObject 2.0.

the main change here is how the expressinstall stuff works - it will  
now use a separate swf instead of making you edit your fla. this was  
needed because of AS3 - you can't mix AS2 swfs and AS3 swfs together,  
so it needed to be a separate swf.

this has made expressinstall much easier to implement.

the only api change so far is this:

when using expressinstall, you no longer pass a 'true' parameter  
after the background color - you now use the so.useExpressInstall()  
method and pass in the path to your expressinstall.swf (included now  
with swfobject)

for an example of this in action, see:
http://blog.deconcept.com/code/swfobject2.0/expressinstall.html

because of these changes, the expressinstall as code is an as2 class  
once again, so it will help clean up your code a bit as well. (even  
though you shouldn't need to recompile the expressinstall swf ever  
anyway.


so what i'd like from you all here, is to test this out, and then  
test it some more. open it up in every browser + flash player  
combination you can think of, and tell me if it breaks in any  
browsers. i'm especially interested in the expressinstall flow -  
uninstall your flash player and downgrade to 6.0.65 and 7 and see if  
you can get it to work, and if you have any issues with it.

this version should also fix the crashes some users are reporting  
when using flash player 6.

i'm also interested in new feature requests - so if you have ideas  
for new features, or even just functionality or API changes, now is  
the time to get them heard.
