Whether you have your param grabbing routine defined at the top of code block in a frame does not really dictate instantiation order etc. If there is a bunch of classes initing at the same time, there maybe a delay in the availability of the loaderinfo properties. If you have a dig around any of the flash / flex component code, there is always a strategy in place for dealing with these delays with methods like indavlidateDisplayList() / commitProperties() and propertiues like isDirty etc.
As you can see with all the test suite files: dynamic: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_params.html static: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_params.html Passing flashvars to IE6 (or any other browser for that matter) does work, so there must be something specific to your FLA/swf.... I'll aswk again, have you tried delaying a frame before trying to access the vars?
