@Brett. All you need to do is to get the string of the URL and pass that in the embedSWF() as the 1st param.
There is no need for mime type changes etc (especially if it is already successfully serving static swf locations) You could even alert out the value of the string before calling the emebedSWF() method for a sanity check. Other than that, I would suggest you get yourself a http debugger like Service Capture or Charles. You will be able to see all the request/responses for the page (the Firefox extension firebug (net panel) and fiddler (for IE) are some free options in terms of viewing traffic too). Can you supply a link to your page? Aran On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 3:13 PM, Brett Labistour <[email protected]> wrote: > First off, thanks for your reply.
