it sounds to me like what is happening is that the user has a version
less than flash 8 installed, so they *should* get the expressinstall
prompt, but that probably isn't working. mostlikely the code wasn't
implemented properly in your swf.
for the next release of swfobject i'm fixing this to make it more
foolproof (failproof?) by using a separate swf for the expressinstall
parts. this was mainly because it's required now for flash 9 swfs
that use as3...
so if you are interested in testing out the new version, you are
welcome to grab it and try it. just note that the expressinstall
stuff works a little differently... you should be able to see how it
works by looking at the example expressinstall.html page.

if anyone else wants to try it out, feel free... we are using it here
at schematic for a flash 9 project and haven't had any issues with it
yet, so it appears to be pretty solid, but if anyone has any feedback
feel free to send it along to me.

For people publishing to Player 8, what steps are you taking when
swfobject + express Install fails?
For example, I don't think express install works with Flash Player 6
and some early versions of Player 7, which is causing me problems
sometimes.
I have text in the div id="flashcontent" so, they _should_ see my text
links and my link to upgrade the flash player, but sometimes I'm
hearing that the flash loads, but the Player 8 features (important
stuff like the text) is not showing up.
Here is my var so:
var so = new SWFObject("images/header_01.swf", "header_01", "800",
"150", "8.0.23", "#000000", true);
so.write("flashcontent");
It mostly works, but, it's still not 100% and it's causing me strife.
