The following libraries have confirmed to be SWFObject 2.0 compatible:

At the migration tips from SWFObject 1.5 you write that "It is now preferred to insert all script blocks in the head of your HTML page". Is this absolutely necessary or just a recommendation? In other words: Do I have to expect any shortcomings if I put the script just below (or above?) the HTML parts?

Inserting all script blocks in the head of your HTML page is a recommendation. Adding your scripts in the body of your page may have visual impact (e.g. flashes of replaced alternative content), because your JavaScript? code will be executed later. All depends on your implementation, really.
