Hi Bobby and all, I've updated the sandbox @ http://jquery.thewikies.com/swfobject/sandbox/ which demonstrates 2 important pieces of progress that I've made. $.createSWF and $.flashVersion.
1. You can use $.createSWF traditionally or in the modern jQuery chaining sense. To return a jQuery element, just neglect to specify the optional ID parameter. Should you specify the ID, $.createSWF will act traditionally. Also, flashvars can be passed in as a string or also as an object, since jQuery has native functionality to convert objects into proper params. 2. $.flashVersion has been successfully tested on IE6, IE7, Opera, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox 3 running the latest version of Flash. It still has some work ahead of it to account for the older releases. The toughest road ahead really sits with expressInstall, because I have nearly no idea what it actually does.
