I created an offline presentation communicating from javascript to Flash using SetVariable. Everything worked fine using Flash Player 7 however when updating to Flash Player 8, none of the 5 variables are passed. I have 2 Flash menus that are communicating with an IFRAME through the javascript.

The following code used to work no problem:  
window.document.statustext.SetVariable(“statusbar.itemcount”, itemcount);

How would I go about fixing this?

Thanks.
