<script type="text/javascript" src=".../crysis/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.quality = "best";
params.bgcolor = "fffff";
var attributes = {};
attributes.id = "gallery";
attributes.name = "crygal.swf";

Well I'm not that good with html, and you've changed it, since I grabbed it an hour or so ago...

Got it to work for me, leaving the first part as you had it...

...

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
attributes.id = "gallery";
swfobject.embedSWF("crygal.swf", "myAlternativeContent", "513", "187", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>

...

And then replacing...

...

<div id="gallery">
<script type="text/javascript">

well after reading required code setting I was able to figure it out. naming sff instances seem to generally be url related, name value and such I dont remember everything I tried but it works if ff. there seems to be a page refesh on off thing happening shich could be due to a missing url on one of the names or? oh well I am happy I learned something and can share the diagnostic process in case others need it.
