FLASH: Object/Embed Syntax For passing values?

[Kelly R. Kerr]

Hey all.  This should be easy, but ...


I know I can send a value to my generator movie through a direct url

(http://wherever.com/movie.swt?name=me)  but how do I do it in an

embed/object tag?


Right now I am passing a value to the html page that contains my movie

(../movie.html?name=me) then I am using javascript to pull that value

out of the url (location.search.substring  get param routine) and

setting a javascript variable equal to that value.


Now, I figured I could simply place:


 <EMBED SRC="test.swt?name="+JavaVar'

or

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="test.swt?name="+JavaVar>


in the code, but it doesn't seem to be working.  The movie plays, but

does not see the value.  When I test my var (alert(JavaVar)) the value

is getting passed to the page, just not the movie.


What am I missing?
