I must be doing something wrong this does not work for me i get the  
html tags passed through as text as well
as in the following, i would get a result that includes the tags in  
the text box



<div id="welcome"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
		// <![CDATA[
		
		var so = new SWFObject("templates/welcome.swf", "site navigation",  
"540", "320", "7", "");
		so.addVariable("flashVarText", escape("<p>hello this is a paragraph! 
</p>"));
		so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
		so.write("welcome");
		
		// ]]>
	</script>
