[Javascript] problem with swfobject.js

Oh dear, my mistake; let me correct myself here:

I should of course have said "element having an ID attribute whose value 
is equal to the value of the variable named '_20', assuming that the 
type of the variable named '_20' is 'string'." Either way, if _20 
contains a string, that string doesn't match any ID attribute in the 
document; otherwise, _20's value is null or undefined, thus causing the 
error ("No properties" FF or "Object expected" IE) that you see.

Hopefully I've got it right this time :-)

Cheers,

Nick.
