[SWFObject] Insert contents of div into Flash

[Ben Huson]

I think I read something about this in a previous post but couldn't  
find it.
It should be possible to write the contents of a div into a Flash  
movie as a Flashvar like this:

so.addVariable("varname", escape(document.getElementById 
('divtag').innerHTML));

In my tests, my XHTML formatted images tags <img src="file.jpg" />  
seem to be stripped of their trailing "/" when they arrive in Flash.
This is annoying as what I would like is to get some nice XML like this:

<img src="file.jpg" />
<img src="file.jpg" />
<img src="file.jpg" />

Because the slash has gone, Flash treats them as nested tags like this:

<img src="file.jpg">
    <img src="file.jpg">
       <img src="file.jpg">
       </img>
    </img>
</img>

Any ideas?

Also, is there a limit to the amount of text that can be loaded as a  
Flashvar.
