Flash vars

1

Hi, I am not new to flash, its just that i had never had to use flash vars in an html…

i am trying to make a customised flv player which reads the source from flash vars from the html.

        <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            swfobject.registerObject("myFlashContent", "10.0.0", "expressInstall.swf");
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="100%" height="100%" id="myFlashContent">
                <param name="movie" value="some.swf" />
                <param name="menu" value="true" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="scale" value="noscale" />
                <param name="wmode" value="window" />
                <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
                <param name="flashvars" value="source=http://www.mfk.smthakur.com/001_conv.flv" />
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="some.swf" width="100%" height="100%">
                    <param name="menu" value="true" />
                    <param name="quality" value="high" />
                    <param name="scale" value="noscale" />

                    <param name="flashvars" value="source=http://www.mfk.smthakur.com/001_conv.flv" />
                <!--<![endif]-->

                <!--<![endif]-->
            </object>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

and the following is the actionscript

i have added an FLVPlayer component onto the stage named as flvPlayer_flv



var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.border = false;
addChild(tf);

tf.appendText("params" + "
");
try 
{
var keyStr:String;
var valueStr:String;
for (keyStr in paramObj) {
valueStr = String(paramObj[keyStr]);
    tf.appendText("	" +"key:"+ keyStr + "	" + "value: "+ valueStr + "
");
}
} catch (error:Error) {
tf.appendText("error");
}

flvPlayer_flv.source = valueStr;

what am i doing wrong? please advice…
kind regards
