swfobject.embedSWF() does not support numeric version numbers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

swfobject.embedSWF() throws a somewhat cryptic error if passed a numeric 
"minimum flash version" instead of a string.

That is, if

  swfobject.embedSWF("myContent.swf", "myContent", "300", "120", 
9,"expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);

is used instead of

  swfobject.embedSWF("myContent.swf", "myContent", "300", "120", 
"9.0.0","expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);

you get the error

  "rv.split is not a function"

in Firefox, and

  "Object 9 has no method 'split'"

in Chrome.

It would be helpful if a better warning was issued, or the number were cast 
to a string.

(The problem is with the function "hasPlayerVersion".)

Set hasPlayerVersion to coerce number to string, if needed
