The Adobe kb400730 fix does not quite work out of the box with swfobject. 

Solution 2, the nested form one, is easy to apply and might work for some,
but it badly breaks the DOM in IE, so it might break other scripts that
reference forms directly, or page layout. 

Solution 1, on the other hand, doesn't work as indicated by Adobe. 
It  *requires* what Bobby suggests here:
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/issues/detail?id=73&can=1&q=form#c6

Basically I suggest adding to the FAQ the following wording after the link
to kb400730:

Note that if you intend to use Solution 1, instead of copying Adobe's
script, you'll need to add the following after you call embedSWF or
registerObject:

swfobject.addDomLoadEvent(function(){window[mySwfId] =
document.forms[0][mySwfId];});

Or rather 
swfobject.addDomLoadEvent(function(){window["mySwfId"] =
document.forms[0]["mySwfId"];});
since most people will not be using a var ;)
