Hi Aran
Thank you for your reply. The querystring vars are part of the video
location.
I've tried escaping the querystring using the javascript escape
function but I still get the same problem, that is the player controls
and layout have disappeared and the video is downloading.
I've noticed that as soon as I’ve added a ? to the video location the
request has a & followed by a number attached to it.
So by doing this:
so.addVariable("file","http://www.example.com/myMovie.mov?test";)
The request, according to firebug is:
http://www.example.com/myMovie.mov?test&468
Any ideas what may be causing this?
