Re: FN-FORUM: flash & passing variables

Hi Manjit,

Make sure you add the queury string parameters to both the OBJECT and EMBED
tags. IE uses the OBJECT tag and Nutscrape/Moz/Opera and just about
everything else uses the EMBED tag, so it's important to include the
information in both!

One thing to note is that there are issues with Flash Player 6.0r47 with
passing information using the OBJECT and EMBED tags in the normal way. To
get around this, you can also supply the data to the Flash Movie using the
'flashvars' param/attribute for the object/embed tag respectively. This only
works with Flash Player 6+ so only use it if you're requiring that version
already...

I hope this helps!

Regards,

Steve
