All that browser specific code? Isn't that about three lines to
account for IE 6 and earlier?
I don't think embedding a Flash thing in a document is really lighter
then three lines of JavaScript.
Its also likely to fall foul of things such as Flash-block and
not-having-Flash-installed.
I'll stick to XMLHttpRequest for that sort of thing.
