[SWFObject] Problems with Flash 6 and swfobject 1.4.4

[Geoff Stearns]

Hey Jakob: I  updated swfobject for the next version (not released  
yet, but soonish) and I added a change that will hopefully fix your  
crashing issues.

Could you try using this updated version and see if it causes a crash  
for you?

thanks!
