am i crazy or is it impossible to pass variables when using adobemedias reccomended flash detection scripts?

i am currently using swfobject (works great for me) - but the page loads too slow on our junk internal network and people are seeing the ‘noflash’ content -

so AC\_OETags.js seems like a better approach (just show what they need) - except … no way to pass variables? i cant see how this is possible - and im hoping that it is just something i am blind to -

any info/insight is apppreciated - thnx!
