actually this feature is broken. if you try to add a param that is unrecognized by embedFlash, it will not add it as a parameter tag.
we found there are 2 better ways to load the swf file right now. option1. use swfObject1-5 it has a superior interface and is more fault tolerant when it comes to browsers, the downside is that getting 100% width and 100% height properties is tough with swfObject1-5. if you want to cache the flash file(its slow right now) you will want to do a getProxyUrl on your swf location url first, and then send that string to swfObject1-5. var url = "http://yourdomain.com/file.swf";; url = gadget.io.getProxyUrl(url); option2. use the broken embedFlash function, but encode flashvars in the url. if the settings change, then it will re-cahce the swft object. DO NOT DO THIS WITH PRIVATE DATA!!! but in the case of a userid, you are probably fine. var url = "http://yourdomain.com/file.swf";; var flashvars = "var1=value1&var2=value2"; url = url + "?" + flashvars ; //adds flash vars to your url option 1 + 2 var url = "http://yourdomain.com/file.swf";; var flashvars = "var1=value1&var2=value2"; url = url + "?" + flashvars ; url = gadget.io.getProxyUrl(url); //proxy encode your url +flashvars right now there are a few options that are only available through swfObject like allowFullScreen //allows the flash widget to go full screen, esc always exits fullscreen, and keyboard becomes disabled as input into flash allowScriptAccess //defines the javascript flash bridge allowNetworking //defines local connection access embedFlash will not let you set these params either by design or by flaw, either way its not there. I think it should be there because of adobe's overly restrictive security models, that are far more strict/ annoying than javascript.
