Ah, so swfobject v1 you could just grab the vars and pass them in as
the 'flashvars' param.
I wonder if you can do the same sort of hack with v2 - by grabbing the
params (yes, we may want to change it to chop off the '?') and then
passing it in as the 'flashvars' param.
You would just have to change your code to pass the flashvars as a
string instead of an object:
var params = { flashvars: getQueryParamValue() }
Anyone want to test this out?
