SWFObject is an easy-to-use and standards-friendly method to embed Flash content, which utilizes one small JavaScript file
* Detects the Flash Player version and determines whether Flash content or alternative content should be shown, to avoid that outdated Flash plug-ins break Flash content
* Offers functionality to revert to alternative content in case of an outdated plug-in by means of a DOM manipulation (Note: if no Flash plug-in is installed the HTML object element automatically falls back to its nested alternative content)
* Offers the option to use Adobe Express Install to download the latest Flash Player
* Offers a JavaScript API to perform common Flash Player and Flash content related tasks
* If you have the Flash plug-in installed, but have JavaScript disabled or a use a browser that doesn't support JavaScript, you will still be able to see your Flash content
* Flash will now also run on a device like Sony PSP, which has very poor JavaScript support
* Automated tools like RSS Readers are able to pick up Flash content
