@citznfish There is no inherent issues with having your swfobject.js file, you swf and your HTMl page all coming from different domains (there is no security preventing this).
A link to your actual page will help greatly in trying to debug. As Vincent mentioned, have you used the code generator: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html to construct your page? It will ensure everything is as it should be.
