[SWFObject] SWFObjects handling of FlashVars for IE browser

[Jonathan Walker]

Hi Geoff

here is the url for the page

http://www.mackinnonfineart.com/furniture/russian_bureau.html

it works fine in firefox and safari so the variables are being passed  
ok, or seem to be, however when viewing in IE as i suggested the
picture disappears after a refresh

Hope I am not doing something bazaar
