Well, the passing of the flashvars doesn't look quite correct: Usually flashvars are passed as name/value pairs like so:
<param name="flashvars" value="foo=bar&somename=somevar" /> Your flashvars have: - a space in them (flash variables cannot have spaces) - been wrapped in two object notiation curly brackets Basically, how is your swf expecting the variables on the root timeline (as that is waht flashvars end up as) ? *** note - if you view the swf directly in the browser and you see the skin, then it is not using flashvars anyhow - It means that it is loading the skin based on a value set inside the swf. What code do you have inside your swf to load the skin? *** Cheers, Aran On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 2:14 PM, David Zhu <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm completely new to SWFobject, I've done basic flash before, but I pretty > much know nothing. > > I used Flash 8 to make a skin. > > Now the question is, how do I get it to work in a webpage?
