Randon player ID being created?

I have a function to initiate a viewer instance:

function startHotPano(panodiv, hotscene)
{

var viewer13 = createPanoViewer({swf:"krpano.swf",id:"thePanoObject",target:panodiv});
<!--viewer.useHTML5("whenpossible"); -->
var url = "sceneXML.php?hotscene="+hotscene+"&newhot=true"
var encurl = encodeURIComponent(url);
var hs = "editSpot";

viewer13.addVariable("xml", encurl); <!--- content/editLocationTest.xml --->
viewer13.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
viewer13.embed();
start_getspot(hs);
};

Every other time it is invoked, the "id:" gets a random numeric suffix added to it....

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="krpano.swf" width="100%" height="100%" style="outline:none;" id="thePanoObject4" name="thePanoObject4" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="opaque" flashvars="browser.useragent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_5) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.52 Safari/537.17&amp;xml=sceneXML.php%3Fhotscene%3D365%26newhot%3Dtrue">

Any ideas as to why this is happening or what could possibly be causing this?
No wehre in my code is there any function that appends / modifies the id: attribute.

Been banging on this to no avail.
Every second ( every other ) time the script runs, the darn "suffix" is added.....

Anyone?
