[Flashjs] Inserting Flash modules using innerHTML in IE6?

[Geoff Stearns]

ie has memory handling issues when you use js to insert/remove obejct 
tags - it doesn't clean them up properly unless you use a bunch of extra 
code to manually remove them and all the js associated with it (it's 
complicated).

your best bet would be to just use an iframe or something with the 
object/embed tags inside there.
