I'm too tired to go into the detail, so maybe in the morning, but the point of his project is to create a custom menu. The concept is explained on the custom-menu project page using the following methodology.
1. Display a Flash Object. 2. Turn off the default context menu. (hence params.menu probably should remain false) 3. Trap the right click and call a custom Actionscript function that is responsible for displaying a custom context menu, either directly in Actionscript or using Javascript. Since there are certainly some differences in how SWFObject1.5 and 2.x treat the DOM in relation to the embedded flash, it's certainly possible that there's some API breakage between what the original project using SWF1.5 applies vs. trying to "port" it using SWF2.x. By examining his source code, we should be able to note whether or not this is a simple syntax issue or something more underpinnings based due to the SWFObject version history. Just my 2 cents. Will try to contribute more tomorrow.
