Your SWFObject statement is malformed. Sorry I didn't notice that earlier.
This:
swfobject.embedSWF("main_banner.swf", "myContent", "189", "151","9.0.0",
flashvars);
Should be this:
swfobject.embedSWF("main_banner.swf", "myContent", "189", "151","9.0.0",
false, flashvars);
(You're missing the required Express Install argument before the flashvars
argument)
Here are some other thoughts:
* You might want to look at how the data is being passed to the SWF...
values passed via flashvars are all strings. Your SWF's conditional
statements are looking for numbers. Maybe you need to cast them.
* Your "visits" variable is listed as _root.visit in one place but simply as
"visit" in another. Perhaps there's a scope issue because of this?
* Are your "visits" conditional statements supposed to be using "capvisits"?
Here's what I assume you're trying to do:
var capvisits:Number = Number(_root.visits) || 1;
if (capvisits == 1) {
this.gotoAndPlay("investment_focus");
}
if (capvisits == 2) {
this.gotoAndPlay("white_papers");
}
