ok, if anyone is interested in helping me test this out...

i've just added expressinstall functionality to the FlashObject script...

http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject/test/expressinstall.html

new syntax is:

var fo = new FlashObject("myswf.swf", "myswf", "400", "300", "8.0.5", "#fffff", true);

(the extra 'true' on the end tells it to use express install or not if they don't have the required version, and it's optional of course)

i had to shuffle the other constructor params around, but since they are optional, i'm hoping that not too many people were using them.

i put the expressinstall code into a class - ExpressInstall.as which i'm having a coworker give it a once over before i release it, but it shouldn't take him more than the weekend to comb through it.

anyway, check out the test page and tell me if you have any problems in any browsers or plugin versions. (you need at least 6.0.65 for it to work, and the page is requiring 8.0.5, so even if you have the 8ball beta plugin it should ask you to upgrade.)

That's cool. I was toying with it to add the express install variables and it worked well.

Just some thoughts...
Maybe there could be an extra argument to the constructor and it would call a method that adds the necessary variables if the required version is not found and the current version is >6.0.65? That way people that don't want the extra variables added because they will not use AS Flash detection won't get extra garbage.
