Hold the frikkin phone.. Seriously think about this.

You are all developing sites for the public. What was the point of
trying this code in the first place?
Because you wanted to have swf content on your site but didn't want to
have a blank page if the user didn't have flash player.
Rather than forcing them to move away from the site, download the
player, restart their browser by which time they have lost interest in
your site entirely. What you wanted was to serve up alternative
content hassle free - automated.

Putting little warnings in to say turn this and that off just makes
your sites poorly designed for its visitors and increase frustration
not only for you as a developer but for the potential visitors
worldwide. You are not catering for the masses only those with full
control and more importantly be can be bothered to arse about just for
your site.

What if it is a business where users are not able to modify their web
settings. Or anyone who doesn't want to disable Adblocker because
Mozilla didn't put it in for shits and giggles it is a valuable aspect
of their application.

So lets stop coming up with botches for getting around what is clearly
starting to appear to be an unfinished and flawed code  and push for
further development and some decent regression testing.

I can't get it to work in IE7 or FF2/FF3. Oddly the very very first
time I ran it on a page it worked. The minute I did a force refresh
all content both swf and html disappeared. I tried an alternative swf
and still nothing.

And if Adobe are patronising this method for future release, they
should front the dev bill.
