The source of the problem is IE9 standards mode no longer returns functions as 
object type.
typeof function(){} == "function" returns true in IE9 standards mode, instead 
of "object"

Therefore, swfobject.js on line 564 
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/source/browse/trunk/swfobject/src/swfobject.j
s#564 needs to be changed to check that styleSheet.addRule() now returns 
"function" in standards mode.

I would like to submit a patch, but I am not sure of the best way to go about 
this.  I am not entirely sure of the reasons for needing to make sure typeof 
addRule == OBJECT, nor how I should style it (should use a const style variable 
for "function"?).  Or maybe just change it to !=UNDEF instead of ==OBJECT?

Also, this issue may have an effect on other parts of the code, although a 
cursory look does not seem to turn anything up.  I do see something in the 
removeObjectinIE that checks if the typeof == "function", but I don't know if 
this is a relevant issue for IE9.

I'll forward this to the team and they will update the issue status as 
required. 

Feel free to post your diff lines in a comment in the meantime so that others 
who may want to patch their copies locally can do so.

Thanks.
Upgrading to swf object 2.2 - the new one - solved my IE9 problem (it failed to 
createCss during detection).
