[SWFObject] using 2 versions of Flash

[David Waclo]

thanks for your response.

hmm, yeah I think you're right that trying to deal with two different  
versions is sort of a waste of time. You can't recreate the effect in  
an earlier version, but I could just do a less cool basic fade.

If I want to do that, though, I think 2) will work.  good idea!

thanks!
dave
