Flash Detect and Render
=======================
The CNN_FlashObject takes a few required arguments...
	name ......... the id/name of the object/embed
	src .......... the URL of the swf
	width ........ (i think this should be required)
	height ....... (i think this should be required)

...and some optional arguments...
	parameters ... this is a "hash" of keys and values
		{ menu: "true", play: "false", loop: "false" }
		(or set this to null or an empty string to skip)
	flashVars .... this is a hash or a string

		{ cs_url: "/football/nfl/scoreboards/today/" }
		- or -
		"cs_url=/football/nfl/scoreboards/today/"
Sample Usage:

if ( new CNN_FlashDetect().detectVersion( 6 ) ) {
	var cnn_Scoreboard = new CNN_FlashObject( "cnnScoreboard",

		"/.element/img/2.0/swf/nfl_scoreboard.swf",

		420, 85, null, "cs_url=/football/nfl/scoreboards/today/" );
	cnn_Scoreboard.writeHtml();
} else {
	document.write( 'alternate html' );
}
Of course, if you plan to have Flash in lots of places on a page,
it might make more sense to make a global variable for the detection.
You could go as far as creating a session-based cookie...
