    I'm trying do get something like this rolling in a SWF like the so_tester...

    if (expressInstallIsNeeded)
    {
    ExpressInstall.launch();
    }
    else
    {
    // do something else...
    }

    Suggestions? Thoughts?

    expressinstall is already taken care of in SWFObject... i don't understand why you'd need to write your own...

    for example, given this code:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject("movie.swf", "mymovie", "200", "100", "8", "#336699");
    so.useExpressInstall('expressinstall.swf');
    so.write("flashcontent");
    </script>

    <div id="flashcontent">
    <p>this page requires Flash Player v8 or greater</p>
    </div>


    if you have Flash Player 7 or lower, you will be prompted to update your Flash Player.
    if you have Flash player 8 or greater, you see the SWF content as intended.
    if you have no Flash Player installed, you will only see the alternate content ("this page requires Flash Player v8 or greater").

    just an FYI: my previous post referred to SWFObject 1.5.1. if you're trying to use the 'javascript' approach with the beta version of SWFObject 2.0, the syntax is a bit different:

    swfobject.embedSWF(swfUrl, id, width, height, version, expressInstallSwfurl, flashvars, params, attributes);

    which could be written as:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var flashvars = null; // we aren't passing any flashvars
    var params = { bgcolor: "#336699" }; // we just want to set the background color
    var attributes = null; // we aren't setting any attributes
    swfobject.embedSWF("movie.swf", "mymovie", "200", "100", "8.0.0","expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
    </script>
