I was using nyromodal to display swf content. The swf had several javascript interactions with the page. They were firing in all browsers but IE. This ended up being because the <object> element had no id attribute.
This describes a case similar to mine:

I would like the following:
1) A new setting called swf.objectId that is used to set id attribute of the object element.
2) A sane default value such as <object id='nyroSwfObject'/>
