Ok, so can we verify that the variable value is available in js?
<%
dim video
video = request("video")
%>
<script language=javascript>
var jVideo = "<%= video%>";
alert(jVideo);
</script>
Once we know everything is happy in js land, then we can remove asp as part
of the issue.
Just to confirm, your passing.swf IS setup to handle the video varialbe and
will do what it needs to with the string to laod and display the video file,
yes?
BTW - if you are just passing the video variable in the querystring, the
swfobject already has a util function to grab the variable etc:
flashvars.foo = swfobject.getQueryParamValue("foo");
