There are several problems with the Adobe code/solution, and at least one was already mentioned. My biggest complaint about it was that its JavaScript was so poorly written. (It even generated malformed mark-up at one point.)

Another complaint I have with the Adobe code/solution is one I also have for SWF Object. The list of function arguments that are expected when embedding Flash media is unnecessarily cumbersome.

I use a custom solution for embedding my Flash media, in order to keep the JavaScript file size down (to under half of the SWF Object footprint), to more efficiently (code-wise) do the same kinds of (essential) embedding tasks, and to provide a simpler interface for embedding.

It has proven to carry a higher degree of sensible usability (over UFO, SWF Object, the Adobe hack, or other) for coding neophytes, as verified by co-workers who have harnessed it.
