I have a bunch of .html files that use this code to bring the user to a specific spot within my flash piece:

\<embed src=“main.swf?mainDestination=work&destination=vide&sentI=2”  
(this is just in addition to “main.swf” which it would be on any normal embed tag)

It works PERFECT in Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Safari, but it WILL NOT work with IE. Does anybody have a work around or explanation? The funny thing is that If I go to [hallmedia.com/main.swf?mainDestination=work&destination=vide&sentI=2](http://hallmedia.com/main.swf?mainDestination=work&destination=vide&sentI=2) in IE it works…???

thanks!

To see it in action try:  
[http://www.hallmedia.com](http://www.hallmedia.com) (default home page)  
[http://www.hallmedia.com/tour](http://www.hallmedia.com/tour) (a section within the SAME flash piece)

Doesn’t work in IE…
