Chrome FlashBlock Extension Prevents Prefetching

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install FlashBlocker extension in Chrome 
(http://www.chromeextensions.org/appearance-functioning/flashblock/) 
2. Load page with ControlJS 


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

An alert() message displays "There was a failure loading script: `script_url`" 


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Flash Blocker 1.2.11.10
Chromium 12.0.712
Fedora 14 x86_64


Please provide any additional information below.

It appears that FlashBlocker for Chrome prevents loading all <object> elements, 
not just Flash-specific ones.  In turn, the onload event does not trigger and 
the script loading chain breaks. 

While this is a FlashBlocker bug as much as anything, ControlJS could choose to 
handle timeouts by loading the script normally, instead of simply alert()'ing.
