[SWFObject] passing JS variables to swfobject

[João Coelho]

Hi Chris, I believe this is happening because flash interprets what is 
after the & sign as a new variable, just like in a GET request, as far 
as I know you will have to url encode de data passed to flash in order 
to get the result you want.
