data:no in FF

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I'm not sure, but sometimes, Firefox stops being able to get through
swfobject.js at this line "if (typeof t.GetVariable != UNDEF) {"

What is the expected output?
The SWF loads

What do you see instead?
Javascript error in swfobject.js

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... ""  nsresult: "0x805e000b
(<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame ::
http://localhost:8080/xxxxx/js/swfobject.js :: anonymous :: line 4"  data: no]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.2 on Firefox in Vista

This change causes the problem to go away, but probably doesn't fix it. 
It's also ugly.  The "if (counter" should be its own function. At least the
site always works now :)

Tested in IE8 and FF 3.5.

        var done = false;
        try {
          if (typeof t.GetVariable != UNDEF) {
            var d = t.GetVariable("$version");
            if (d) {
              d = d.split(" ")[1].split(",");
              ua.pv = [parseInt(d[0], 10), parseInt(d[1], 10),
parseInt(d[2], 10)];
            }
            done = true;
          }
        }
        catch (ex) {
        }
        if (!done) {
          if (counter < 10) {
            counter++;
            setTimeout(arguments.callee, 10);
            return;
          }
        }
