PHP coding for dynamic Flash header

    I have a Flash script embedded into a Wordpress template. The template can be viewed here at Hello Elbow.

    The Flash script is used to generate headings for posts in Wordpress, however I would like to use it to generate the headings on the Author pages too, for example, this page http://www.helloelbow.com/author/JakeThePeg/. In otherwords, I would like the Flash header to display the Author's Name on this page (and the heading does not need to be a hyperlink to anywhere, as is currently the case)

    I'm not very good with PHP, so am hoping someone can help.

    The text I want to insert into the Flash heading is contained within this code

    <?php echo $curauth->first_name. ' ' .
                                    $curauth->last_name ?>
    PHP:

    And this is the script for the Flash Header, I don't know which variables needs to be modified.


    <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    	<div class="storytitle">
    		<div class="title" id="flash-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
    			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    		</div> 	
    		<script type="text/javascript">
    			// <![CDATA[
    			var so = new SWFObject("<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/title.swf", "flash-<?php the_ID(); ?>", "240", "240", "8", "#ffffff");
    			so.addVariable("titletext", "<?php the_title(); ?>");
    			so.addVariable("permalink", "<?php the_permalink() ?>");
    			so.write("flash-<?php the_ID(); ?>");
    			// ]]>
    </script>
    
    </div>
    PHP:
    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
