FYI - I looked in more detail at swfobject as was suggested and the only think I needed to pull out of it and plug into our other detection and embedding scripts was in the catch/try statements:
axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash"); Not specifying a version number. Thanks to Geoff who suggested I just pull out part of swfobject. Re: swfobject suggestions, I think I was really trying to get down to a "teach me to fish, don't give me a fish" kind of a thing because of our IT requirements, but I found the code I needed so I can fish. Thanks.
