Have you tried to use absolute paths for your flashVar
?

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
