As a feature request, we have had the request before and it was on the feature list in early alpha versions of SWFObject 2, however we decided not to support classes as hooks, because it costs us relatively to many KBs for functionality that's only used by a few people.

About older versions of SWFObject, I am not sure if it supported classes as hooks, I can't see it being documented - http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ In any case, SWFObject 2 is the successor of SWFObject 1.x, UFO and the Adobe Flash Detection Kit, so that's why it's not automatically backwards compatible with SWFObject 1.x, nor will it guarantee that it will include all previous features.

Status changed - Well, that's not how SWFObject works. It contains a DOM independent and a DOM dependent part, so when you define all your scripts in the header of your Web page it immediately executes the DOM independent code, and adds the DOM dependent part as soon as the DOM of a page is available, via the DomContentLoaded event or a simulation of it if the browser doesn't support it. The link you refer to is an old workaround that dates before the time of the DomContentLoaded event and a bad practice IMO. It also performs worse, because the DOM independent part is only executed at the end of the page. Furthermore just Google for "unobtrusive JavaScript" to see what the advantages of this approach is. So either use SWFObject as intended or - worse - include your scripts at the top of your body before the actual object elements that embed your Flash content.
