I don't have a "passing.swf". That was just something I copied from
some code I found. All I have is several video files (swf) that I
converted from MP4s.
How do I get a "passing.swf" and set it up to handle the video
variable?
flashvars.foo = swfobject.getQueryParamValue("foo");. I have seen
this code but I didn't understand the "foo" part of it.
I'm a newbie at flash and would appreciate any help and code you could
provide. Most of the material I've been reading assumes I know a lot
more about it than I do.
Thanx
