Dynamic Publishing embedding in empty form tag without a hack

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using dynamic publishing, when the swfobject is placed inside a <form>
tag, ExternalInterface doesn't work in IE.  The hack for this
(http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400730) isn't
a viable option as it places more reliance on my end-users.
2. For static publishing, using swfobject.getElementById(id) will resolve
this issue - but I have to use dynamic publishing.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect swfobject.getElementById(id) to work for dynamic publishing. 
Instead, it doesn't work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Swfobject 2.1, XP

Please provide any additional information below.

RE 1: this is a generic Adobe Flash/IE issue, however both solutions in
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400730 have been 
tested
and proved to be working. If you can't use the empty form workaround, you 
should use
option 1, just make sure to define an id on your SWF.

RE 2: I suppose you mean swfobject.getObjectById. This is un related to the 
issue.
The purpose of this method is to get the correct reference to the object 
element,
there the nested-object method has two possible objects to communicate to.
