Do you have a publicly accessible link?  Taken at face value passing a
string literal into the flashvars the way you are isn't going to make
SWFObject choke in any way.  The snippet you've provided seems correct, so I
actually expect the issue to be something on your SWF's side.  Suppose you
put in a nonsense variable that has nothing to do with your parentXML value
(presuming that your movie can load without parentXML specified)... does
this also break SWF?

i.e. flashvars.nonsense = "foo";

This seems odd and certainly nothing that I've encountered before.  I pass
strings to SWFObject Flash movies via flashvars all the time.
