er... actually just noticed...
change the var SWFLoad (although that might work) to...
function SWFLoad() {
// your code here
}
Note that the $(document).ready() call is only taking the function name as a
parameter. You are passing the function itself as a parameter, not
evaluating the function like SWFLoad().
