[SWFObject] Passing vars between swfs of different Flash Versions

[Aran Rhee]

Dominik.

As long as the user has flash player 6.0.65 or above (r65 player can
understand AS2 code, so the express install code will work (as long as it is
on frame 1)), you don't need a separate file to do the express install. You
publish your 1 content file as 8, and set the swfObject requirements as v8,
and add the expressinstall flag to true.

BTW - How are trying to pass the vars to the 2nd file ?

Cheers,
Aran
