[SWFObject] SWFObjects handling of FlashVars for IE browser

[Geoff Stearns]

strange that it works the first time... but you have some extra code  
in there that might be screwing with things...


this line:

zoomer.addVariable("FlashVars","zoomifyImagePath");

shoudln't be there (i don't think it will make much difference, but  
still , it should be removed)


if that doesn't fix it, you may just need to modify your flash movie  
- maybe wait 1 frame before you load the image in?

i've never had issues with the flashvars stuff like this, and i've  
been using this script for over a year now...

maybe you could put a little text field on the stage that displays  
the value of the var you are passing in, so you can see if it's being  
passed in or not?
