[SWFObject] Passing vars between swfs of different FlashVersions

Hello Aran

Yes, but I have problems publishing this file in Flash 6, some elements
are missing. I do not know why, it is a Flash graphic which causes that
problem. Normally, a Flash graphic should show up correctly in Flash 6
(which is the case when published as Flash 6 version).

The flash variable in the first swf is defined as _root-variable. In the
second swf I try to access this variable, but it is undefined. I do not
use _lookroot. Everything works fine if the first movie is published in
v 8.0 and the second in v. 8.0, too. But it does not work if the first
movie is published in v. 6.65 and the second in v. 8.0.

Any further ideas?

Cheers,
Dominik
