Re: FLASH: Object/Embed Syntax For passing values?

[Kelly R. Kerr]

Jason,


I got that to work in Netscape 4.0, but the problem I am having now is trying

to get IE 4.0 to recognize a variable in place of the movie name in the


<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE= myvar>


statement.   I have tried VALUE="test.swt"+myvar> and very combination I can

think of and nothing.  What am I missing?  I know it is something

simple.......


Thanks for your help and any thoughts.
