* Loads flash movies into the page by replacing custom placeholders with flash equivalents

* new FlashLoader("flashPlaceHolder"); - MUST NOT BE CALLED UNTIL AFTER THE PAGE LOADS! (i.e. use window.onload to trigger).
*
* Requirements: prototype v1.4+, which can be found at http://prototype.conio.net/
