The embed and object tags are the most common methods I've seen for applications like the one I'm building which is one of the main reasons I want to use that approach. I intentionally built the application to require one and only one parameter. Any additional parameters are loaded in via XML along with other dynamic content.
That said, is it possible to use a SWF built for a reasonably recent version of the flash player (let's say 6 or 7 and up) to: a) detect the correct version and load the intended Flex application. b) detect that the player needs to be upgraded to 9+ and prompt the user to update.
