I am sorry, I didn't try your version explicitely but another "similar" technique. Probably I jumped on conclusions too fast.
To be precise, what I found is calling "innerHTML" on an parent object of an <object> tag (on IE) does not renders all the attributes correctly. You could see it by looking at the resulting "string" in a debugger. But there are differences that could explain this. The parent object was not a <noscript> tag like yours. Also maybe there was a question of timing: I was calling my external javascript from the "end" of the page - it was taking care of all flash objects on the page at once. (unlike your technique). I do not recall the exact IE version I was using (probably a very recent one) and I do not have a quick test bed to try it out again now. Another drawback I saw is the "double initialization" of all my flash movies. Each movie would load and run "twice". hope that helps, B. 2006/4/18, Geoff Knutzen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > I am using flashvars with this technique and am having no troubles at all > > Is there some circumstance where the flashvars wouldn't work? > I don't know what I am missing here.
