Hi,

## I was hoping someone could give me a hand with this code. I’m using the kirupa flashobject.js to switch over some of my old flash object embeds. It works fine on all my .swfs except this one where I pass in flashvars. I’m a little confused on how I should attempt this. I tried the straight up way of adding a “fo.addParam()” but it didn’t work. Anyway, I’ve included the pre-changed flash object as well as the javascript version that I tried to convert it to. Any suggestions would rock my world.
