Hi Jennifer. addDomLoadEvent() is not fired after the swf is embedded, but when the DOM is available (ie you can get to all of the elements on your page). You can use this function to delay the embedding of your Flash file or run some other function after the page elements are available. SWFObject inteternally uses the domReady event to init all of its own proceses.
Perhaps you want to look at the callback function (the last param on both the static and dynamic publishing methods) if you need to ensure the swf has been written to the page before calling something else. There are some people on this list who have intimate knowledge of the Youtube API, so I am hopeful they can sort out your issue.
