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

	so just to clarify: 

	you load a flash movie that has flashvars passed in

	in IE, if you hit reload, the flashvars no longer show up inside
the movie?

	Can you go to my SWFObject test page and hit refresh and see if
the vars don't show up anymore?

	this page:
	http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/swfobject.html
	has a string of text passed in - you can see it printed out
saying "this is passed in via flashvars..."

	hit reload on that page and see if the string still shows up.

		Hi - I have a question regarding what I consider an
excellent piece of code, I have an issue with passing variables using
FlashVars, all is OK in Firefox, safari and the likes, however the
problem arives in IE, its fine when i first load my page, i can see
things fine until I do a refresh then the object i am calling to display
in the movie disappears, the swf is still there but no content, when i
remove the call for the content the movie appears. Very odd, is IE
blocking the call for the content?.
		
		
		Before I implemented the change everything worked great,
after the Microsoft update I was getting the "click here to activate and
use this control" hence the need to look for alternate solutions and I
found SWFObjects, which incidentally works great on basic content which
I have on other sites, its the FlashVars thing that IE seems to have a
problem with.
		
		
		Thanks
