that's not really accurate... you can have the flash inserted as the
page loads and not have to activate it. the requirement is that it's
written by an external script, and not invoked natively by the
browser (and plain html).
it doesn't matter if it's done onload or inline as the page is loading.
the solution to all of this is to just use one of the many js
solutions that don't have issues like this.
if you can't use javascript for some reason (which should never be
the case), then be prepared to force your customers to click to
activate the control.

There's no magic there, the embedded object cannot exist prior

Don't use a delay, use the onload event. A delay is unpredictable
because you are working on the client side, where bandwidth,
network congestion, and the size of the images and other files
loaded into the page will cause the amount of time before the
onload event fires to vary drastically. To state that more clearly,
you will *never* accomplish this in any predictable way using a
time delay, not even if you make the delay over 1 minute, because
somewhere there is still a guy using a 14.4 modem.
