If we have a stacktrace (is the talkback component included with the
linux distro?) this might help us raise a bug - but that won't help
us with FF 1.5 :-(

How about this:

Put the js in the constructor of the #flash binding.
Then give the #flashblock binding a field/property e.g.
block = "flash.png"

In the constructor put in some fallback code:

var fbimage = this.block? this.block : "flash.png";

I've never seen director and authorware webpages out in the
wild (except on the macromedia site) anyway, so most people
won't notice the difference.
