@functions - If you don't have the FLA (the original authoring file used =before compiling to a swf) then you have no ral ability to add code to the swf (without using decompliers etc which is a can of worms)
@reference - hmmm. Other than referencing the official docs from Adobe on what is and isn't possible with swf plugin API, I am unsure you will find a wite paper stating you cannot get the dimensions.... @float - these are passed through as Strings to the <object> tag creation within the swfobject library, and then the Flash plugin handles the rest. I imagine these are being parsed to int internally in the plugin, like we do when checking for minimum dimensions in the expressInstall function : parseInt(att.width, 10); So really, they are never really floats :) @other applications - I know some people have taken the swfobject methodology / codebase and done similar work for Quicktime and other plugins, but SWFObject is not designed to be used with anything other than a swf file (as it writes an <object> tag to the page with Flash plugin specific classid's etc). Therefore I would strong discourage anyone attempting to use it for anthing other than swf files. swf file can load other assets such as images, videos, xml etc, but the swf must be used as the loading mechanism.
