    - This file handles the creating of new SWF objects
    - Should only be used/included on pages with any sort of flash 
    - kap_mootools.js *dependent*
    - kap_swfobject.js *dependent*

Function: kap_kickRecordSwf
    Creates the new swf object (and returns it to the call) for recording media

Arguments:
    flashConnectString - the rtmp path to the flash server (normally)
    affiliateSiteId - the id of the affiliate (used for file writing I'm guessing?)
    userId - the id of the user who is viewing the recorder
    uniqueTimestamp - a unique timestamp that is used for file creating and storage
    mediaType - what type of media is being recorded (video or audio)
    options - an options object which allows more options to be specified that control the look and behaviour of the recorder

Options Object Properties:
    messageBoard - whether the recorder is being used specifically on the message board page
    height - the desired height of the recorder

Notes:
    - This function is/will be used throughout the platform; therefore _careful_ with any changes or additions
    - Any modifications to handle new options properties is fine, but should ideally be tested wherever else the recorder is used to ensure no bugs

Function: kap_flashMiniPlayer
    Creates the new swf object (and returns it to the call) for viewing/playing media in a mini player

Arguments:
    flvLoc - the location of the flash file
    imgLog - the location of any associated image to the flash player (dimensions are important)
    options - *optional*; the options object which allows for further control of the mini player

Options Object Properties:
    isAutoloading - whether or not the player should auto load (aka auto play) the media when it loads
    messageBoard - whether the mini player is being shown/used/played on the message board application
    width - the desired width of the mini player (defaults to 150)
    height - the desired height of the mini player (defaults to 100)

Notes:
    - This function is/will be used throughout the platform; therefore _careful_ with any changes or additions
    - Any modifications to handle new options properties is fine, but should ideally be tested wherever else the recorder is used to ensure no bugs
    - Yes these are the same notes as the function above; not lazy, they just happen to apply
