J.parentNode problem - Githubissues

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I use Highslide with flash wich uses swfobject.js 
2. I use Flash audio player on the same page
3. The audioplayer.js script uses a modifyed swfobject.js code
4. audioplayer.js script conflicts with the swfobject.js script

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Code error  'J.parentNode' is empty or no object

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

Please provide any additional information below.

The audioplayer.js script follows

var AudioPlayer=function(){var F=[];var C;var E="";var A={};var D=-
1;function B(G){return document.all?window[G]:document[G]}return
{setup:function(H,G){E=H;A=G},getPlayer:function(G){return B
