Please be gentle and try to spell out answers in detail as I'm a newbie who knows very little about Javascript and ins and outs of web publishing stuff in general. I've always just published my SWFs (sometimes built using Flash, sometimes built using Flex) using the html template code that those tools generate. I am now trying to use SWFObject and flashvars for the first time. I have created the html below to launch a .swf. I named this testindex.html and have it in a directory on my site which I have password protected. As soon as I click on either of the links, I get the javascript popup that shows I passed the correct data to establish my flashvars, but then instead of seeing my .swf load, I get a 403 Access Forbidden message. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't this work?
